EaeaHE intelligent and diligent book-buyer will need but little incentive 
Ve M4q/ to a perusal of this catalogue, for the reputation of Mr. William 
Meetenm) Menzies as a collector, who, to a ripened judgment unites a fasti- 
dious taste, is so extensive, that it is almost superfluous to attempt 
a description of his grand and probably unrivalled collection of books. It 
is much more than a collection, it is a library in every sense of the term ; 
for in the departments to which it is devoted it is replete with the best edi- 
tions of the best authors, in the very best condition, selected and purchased 
from time to time, without regard to cost, during a period of nearly forty 
years. 

It has been at once our occupation and privilege, during the last five and 
twenty years, to compile many catalogues, some of which, from the nature 
and extent of the libraries catalogued, possess considerable bibliographical 
interest} but we have never, until now, had the pleasure of preparing a cata- 
loguein which almost every book possesses special importance, and we might 
with propriety terminate this notice by remarking, that where all the books 
are good, it seems invidious to make a selection, but, as this catalogue will 
circulate among many buyers whose engagements are numerous, and whose 
time is limited, we have thought it worth while to group in a succinct pre- 
liminary notice some of the leading specialities. * 

The department of Early Printed Books merits attention as containing 
some fine specimens by the inventors of Printing. Lots 74and 167 being 
respectively the work of John Gutenberg, and Fust & Schoiffer ; lot 75 

‘is from the press of Peter Schoiffer ; and there are several other examples, 
dated and undated, printed by the fathers of the art between the years 1460 
and 1472; while English Printing is illustrated by a beautiful specimen of 
William Caxton’s work, viz., lot 926 Higden’s Polycronycon ; and three ex- 
amples of Wynkyn de Worde, one of which, lot 2132, is the earliest 
example of the use of Italian type in England. 

The specimens of American Typography include some of the rarest of 
the books in this catalogue. Among them lot 665 Eliot’s Bible, which, 
in addition to its claim as the first Bible printed in America, is worthy of dis- 
tinction as being one of the finest copies in existence. Lot 514 besides 





The alphabetical list of the rare books which follows this notice was prepared for another purpose, 
but is reprinted for its convenience as to their order in the catalogue. 


iv NorIce. 


being an early specimen of printing in Massachusetts, 1663, is remarkable 
as the only known copy which has occurred for sale in 40 years. Lot 1511, 
by John Norton, 1664, is almost equally rare and interesting. Lot 1219 
is conspicuous as the first book printed in Pennsylvania and is believed to be 
unique. Lot 1250 is the first book printed in New York, and the only 
known copy. Lot ggo is the first book printed in Boston. Lot 452 is the 
first book printed in Connecticut. 

Of books printed by William Bradford, the first printer in the middle 
colonies, there are nearly 50 titles, many of which are properly included 
in the following list of rare books. Benjamin Franklin, the printer, is re- 
presented by upward of 20 titles, including an uncut copy of his chefd euvre, 
Cicero’s Cato Major, and others equally rare. Chris. Sower, of German- 
town battle-ground renown, is represented by several titles, so also is John 
P. Zenger, the successor to William Bradford. 

Of Printing on Vellum, we have specimens of two of the only three 
works known to have been so printed in the United States; several Heures 
on vellum, printed in Paris, are here worthy of mention, as also is lot 2002 
Turnbull’s Birds of Pennsylvania, which is one of the most beautiful spe- 
cimens of modern printing on vellum that we have ever seen. 

It is scarcely necessary to remark that the zealous collector is always 
desirous of obtaining uncut copies of his favorite works, particularly of such 
as have generally fallen victims to the bookbinder’s plough, in this special 
field Mr. Menzies has been more than ordinarily successful, for the library 
abounds in uncut copies many of which may be regarded as almost unzque, 
and none of them as common. We content ourselves with a brief enu- 
meration of some of their titles, viz., Smith’s New Jersey, Heath’s Memoirs, 
Peters’ Connecticut, Franklin’s Cato Major, Hutchinson’s Massachusetts 
Bay and Papers, Backus’ Church History, Burk’s Virginia, Sanderson’s 
Signers on large paper, Calef’s More Wonders, Mather’s Invisible World, 
Mather’s Further Trials, Mante’s American War, Bullock’s Virginia, 
M’Call’s Georgia, Thomas’ History of Printing, Proud’s Pennsylvania, 
Smith’s Canada, and Donck’s New Netherland. 

Of books which relate to America, and possess the attraction of much 
rarity, the alphabetical list appended to this notice contains short titles of 
the principal portion, but we call special attention to a remarkably fine 
series of De Bry’s, and of Hakluyt’s Voyages, Purchas’ Pilgrimes, Smith’s 
Virginia, True Travels, and New-England, Mourt’s Relation, Symmes’ 
Pigewacket Fight, Denton’s, Wolley’s, and Smith’s New York, the last 
on large paper and the only known copy, Hamor’s, Bullock’s and Jones’ 
Virginia, Thomas’ and Budd’s Pennsylvania, Colden’s Indian Nations, 
first edition, Cook’s Sot-Weed Factor, Gorges’ America Painted to the Life, 
Foxe’s North West Fox, Mather’s Magnalia on large paper, and many other 
works by the Mathers, Romans’ Florida, Anne Bradstreet’s Poems, Colden’s 


NorTICE. V 


Action in Matter, Hale on Witchcraft, Jefferson’s Notes on Virginia, 
first edition, Trials of Gens. St. Clair and Lee, Linschoten’s Voyages, 
Haywood’s Tennessee, André’s Cow Chace, Horsmanden’s Negro Plot, 
three editions, and Campanius’ New Sweden. 

Among the more modern, but almost equally rare works, is a series of 
the books printed by Mr. George Wymberley-Jones, at Wormsloe. A 
set of Munsell’s Historical Series on large paper, the only one ever offered 
for sale. The collections relative to Burke, Burr, Cobbett, Howe, Bur- 
goyne, Wesley, Whitefield, Dr. Johnson, Paine, Wilkinson, Bancroft, 
&c., are unusually complete, and of much interest. 

Mr. Menzies’ predilection for the literature of Scotland will be conspic- 
uously apparent in the editions of Burns. We are acquainted with no other 
catalogue in which may be found the Kilmarnock, the first Edinburgh, the 
first London, and the first two American editions ; while the set of Scott’s 
Novels is exceptionally fine, and unzque. 

The department of Bibliography, though not extensive, is nevertheless 
replete with the best English, French and American authors. ‘The series 
of works by Thomas Frognal Dibdin is simply magnificent; in order to 
make it so, in some instances, not less than three copies of a work have 
been used in order to complete one without spot or blemish. Fine sets of 
Watt, Brydges, Beloe, Clarke, Horne, Lowndes, and Brunet, the last three 
on large paper, and the Bibliotheca Grenvilliana, also on large paper, are em- 
braced in the series of English and French: Bibliography. American 
Bibliography includes, among others, the works of Rich, Stevens, Asher, 
Ludewig, Faribault, Kennett, Ternaux, Harrisse, and Sabin, the last four 
of which are on large paper. 

The collection of Illustrated Books includes so much that is excellent, 
that we should exhaust our list of adjectives in any attempt to do it justice. 
Preéminent and unapproachable, both as to extent and character, is the 
piece de resistance of the sale—Irving’s Life of Washington extended to 10 
vols., 4to. It isa set of books worthy of a much more expanded de- 
scription than it has received in the catalogue, and, like many other works in 
this library, it must be seen and examined to be appreciated. It is the 
noblest tribute to the memory of the “‘ father of his country ” that Biblio- 
mania has ever offered, and no amount of money could now produce its 
like. In regard to the illustrated books in general, we would call atten- 
tion to the statement that they contain upward of ‘Ten Thousand Choice 
Engravings, all, with scarce an exception, fine, strong, and choice impres- 
sions, a very large proportion of which are proofs, India proofs, etc., of 
the finest character, and highest class. “The necessary inlaying has been 
done in the best manner, by Mr. Geo. Trent. In addition to the plates, 
nearly Three Hundred Autograph Letters are inserted, many of which strictly 
pertain to the works in which they are inserted, while all of them will be 


vi NorICE. 


found to be in the most satisfactory condition. The reader is referred to 
the following lots viz.: 14 Adams’ Works. 104 Bailey’s Records of 
Patriotism. 150 Beloe’s Sexagenarian. 190 Boaden’s Shakespeare Port- 
raits. 432 Colden’s Life of Fulton. 504 Custis’? Recollections of Wash- 
ington. 579, 580, 587, 591, 592 and 593 Dibdin’s Works. 623 Drake’s 
History of Boston. - 643 and 644 Dunlap’s Works. 739 Francis’ Old 
New York. 749 and 750 Franklin’s Works. 767 Froissart’s Chronicles. 
794 Garden’s American Anecdotes. 974 Hosack’s Life of Clinton. 1042 
and 1043 Irving’s Works and Life. 1562 Parton’s Life of Jackson. 1670 
Randall’s Life of Jefferson. 1693 Riedesel’s Memoirs. 1752 Sanderson’s 
Lives of the Signers. 1759 Sargent’s Lifeof André. 1740 Blennerhassett 
Papers. 1767 Schroeder’s Life of Washington. 1776 Scott’s Novels. 
1802 Knight’s Shakspere. 2030 Walpole’s Painters. 2048 Warren’s 
American Revolution. 

Of Manuscripts the number is not large, but the importance of lot 2051 
can scarcely be over-estimated ; it is Washington’s Correspondence with 
General Reed during the American Revolution; and includes Fifty-four 
original Autograph Letters of Washington, which form the subject of an 
extended notice in the catalogue to which the reader is referred. We take 
occasion to remark that the library is unusually rich in works pertaining to 
General Washington, there being nearly two hundred Eulogies and Ora- 
tions relative to his memory, all in the finest condition and mostly uncut, 
all the editions of the Washingtoniana, &c., and a few books from his library. 
Second only in interest to lot 2051, is lot 2095 General Wayne’s MS. 
Orderly Book. Lot 5 is a Collection of Autograph Letters of the Presi- 
dents of the United States. Lot 1573 is Original Autograph Letters 
written by the Friends and Relatives of Washington, on the Portrait 
painted by Rembrandt Peale. Lot 1824 is a remarkably fine series of | 
Autograph Letters of the Signers to the Constitution of the U. S$. Lot 
g6 is a series of Autographs of Distinguished Americans. There are also 
Autograph Chapters from Irving’s Washington, Bancroft’s History, and 
Dawson’s Battles of the U. S., Major Rogers’ Original MS. Diary of the 
Siege of Detroit, Dr. Franklin’s own annotated copy of the Second Pro- 
test, Autographs for Freedom, and, though last not least, A Poem by 
Robert Burns in his own hand-writing. In addition to these, some of the 
volumes are enriched by inserted autograph letters and signatures ; Proud’s 
Pennsylvania, Smith’s New Jersey, and Greene’s Life of Genl. Greene, 
are examples. ‘There are also two fine and richly illuminated MSS. written 
on vellum during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries respectively. 

There are three books enumerated in the catalogue, of which one copy 
only has been printed in the style described, viz., Laurens’ Letters, Pou- 
chot’s Memoir, and the Poetry of New Netherlaitth 

The attention of the American collector may perhaps be arrested by the 


NoTICE. Vil 


fact, that the most extensive, as well as the most important of the specialities 
which distinguish this remarkable collection, will be found in the assemblage 
of the books which relate to America — particularly to the British North 
American Colonies. We have elsewhere referred to some of the rarer and 
more curious works in which that department abounds, and would now 
remark, that there is scarcely an important work in English, claiming a 
place among the rare Americana, which may not be found in this fine 
library. Briefly, the collection of Americana has not been excelled in 
attractiveness or importance, by that of any other collection ever sold. 

The condition of the books throughout, is all that the most exacting and 
tasteful collector can desire ; the slightest blemish was always a cause for 
rejection ; and as very nearly all of them are bound by the best English, 
French and American binders, including the names of Roger Payne, Bed- 
ford, Mackenzie, Hayday, Pratt, Lortic, Henderson & Bissett, David, 
Matthews, Bradstreet, and Smith, their state, internal and external, is 
unsurpassed by that of any other similar collection which has ever passed 
under our notice, or, of which we have any knowledge. ‘This is high 
praise, but we know whereof we speak, and desire to create no impression 
concerning the books which will not be most amply borne out by the books 
themselves. [he reader need be under no apprehension as to a too fre- 
quent use of the words scarce, rare, and most rare, &c., they have not been 
lightly considered, but express, according to the best of our knowledge and 
belief, the exact bibliographical status of the various works which are so 
described. 

We cannot terminate this notice without expressing our acknowledg- 
ments to Mr. Menzies for his valuable assistance without which the cata- 
logue would have fallen far short of its present completeness ; neither can 
we forbear to direct attention to its typographical beauty. Mr. Munsell 
has printed it from entirely new type, and the result, typographically speak- 
ing, is a catalogue which in point of taste as to style, and accuracy as to com- 
position, has rarely been excelled by any production of a similar character. 
As to the other characteristics of the catalogue they must speak for them- 
selves. For reasons which do not concern the public, Mr. Menzies has 
directed the collection to be sold at auction, at a time and place to be here- 
after announced. As nothing short of an actual inspection can convey 
an adequate idea of its beauty of condition, and general desirability, it will 
be on view (dy cards only), one week previous to the sale.

Acosta composed part of his work in Peru, and the remainder on his return to Europe. 
The translator was Edward Grimstone.

Aitken was a native of Scotland. He was condemned, executed, and hung in chains, for 
setting fire tothe Royal Dock-yard and shipping at Portsmouth, in December, 1776. With 
the privity of Silas Deane, whom he met and conferred with at Paris, the attempt to destroy 
the government property, stores, and shipping at Portsmouth, was determined on, which, 
notwithstanding its apparently desperate and impracticable character, partially succeeded. 
From Deane, who supplied him with a royal passport, and a sum of money in advance, he 
had assurances of a reward proportioned to the services he should render to the American 
cause. The Counsel for the crown on the trial, publicly accused Benjamin Franklin and 
Silas Deane of complicity in the enterprise, and expressed a hope that they might be called 
to account for it. The affair, says Gordon, created much confusion, apprehension, and sus- 
picion throughout England at the time of its occurrence.

seen elsewhere stated : ‘ Verrazano seems to have been the pilot [of the Samson and Mary] 
and to have lost his life in an encounter with the North American Indians.’ ”— Fie/d.

“© As late as 1655, the Indians of New York were revenging the murderous slaughter of 
four hundred of their countrymen at Pavonia, by that sanguinary coward, Governor Kieft. 
The petition shows that three hundred of the Dutch colony had been slain, and one hund- 
red carried away captives. So audacious had the fierce Indians become, that several of the 
Dutch had been killed on the island of Manhattan; and on one occasion sixty-four canoes 
loaded with the savages had landed on the shore of the North River, and before daylight, 
had filled the streets of New Amsterdam. The first objects upon which the eyes of the 
astonished Dutchmen rested in the morning, were the crowds of savages to whose forbear- 
ance alone they owed their lives.” — Field.

This is a series of what is known as the “‘ Grands Voyages” and contains all of the Latin 
version which was published during the life time of the elder De Bry, and as the title of Part 
IX bears the words ‘¢ Postrema Pars,” it is evident that it was intended to stop there, but the 
success of the enterprise induced its continuation. It would be easy to expatiate on the beauty, 
desirability, utility, and value of this GRAND sERIEs of works but we content ourselves by re- 
ferring the reader to the descriptions of the work in Brunet’s Manual, or, the mere English 
Reader to the translation of the same in “ Sabin’s Dictionary of Books relating to America”

On the verso of the last leaf of this very RARE and curious book is a list of the ** Books to 
be sold by William Bradford, in Philadelphia, 1692,” with the prices; and at the bottom 
of the page is the following note: ‘* And whereas it is reported that the printer being a 
favorer of G. K., he will not print for any other, which is the reason that the other party 
appear not in print as well as G. K. These are to signifie that the printer hath not yet re- 
fused to print anything for either party ; and also signifies that he doth not refuse, but is 
willing and ready to print anything for the future that G. K.’s opposers shall bring to him.” 

The following notice of Witt1AM Braprorp is from Joseph Smith’s Catalogue of “ Friends’ 
Books,” and is here introduced on account of the interest which attaches to his: name, as 
well as on account of the numerous books, contained in this library, which were printed by 
him. ‘ William Bradford was born in Leicester, about the year 1659. He was placed as 
an apprentice to learn the printing business with Andrew Sowle in London, Whilst in this 
situation, he appears to have been convinced of Friends’ principles, and was admitted into 
membership among them. Shortly after he was of age he married Elizabeth Sowle, a 


260 


if 


Sg 


261 


BuLwer. 49 


daughter of his late master, and then went over to America. This was in 1682 or 1683. 
A Certificate of Devonshire House Monthly Meeting, recommending William Bradford and 
Elizabeth his wife, as members of the Society of Friends, was read in Philadelphia Monthly 
Meeting, held the 4th of the r1th month, 1685, and accepted. They were not, however, 
settled in Philadelphia, but in Oxford township ; and belonged to Oxford Monthly Meeting. 
His press was probably at Burlington, or at Chester, or at Kensington. Having received his 
printing materials from England, William Bradford was now ready tocarry on business. The 
first work that he printed appears to have been ¢ An Epistle of John Burnyeat’s, in 1686.’ 
In the year 1687, he issued a prospectus for publishing by subscription a folio Bible with 
notes, but not receiving sufficient encouragement, the work was relinquished. In the year 
1691, he joined with George Keith in his controversy with the Society, and in 1692 wished 
to be discharged from the engagement as Friends” printer. He removedto New York with 
his press in 1693, and was appointed printer to the government. There he continued to 
reside until 5th month 23rd, 1752, when he suddenly deceased, aged 94 years. He signed 
many books and papers during the Keithian controversy. It is scarcely necessary to add, 
that Bradford being the first printer in the Middle Colonies, books printed by him are eagerly 
sought for by the American collector; many of them are printed without a separate title- 
page, but their completeness is ascertained by the paging and signatures.”’ Fora list of books 
printed by Bradford, see J. W. Wallace’s “‘ Address.” No. 2026.

After General Burgoyne’s surrender, he was allowed to return to England on parole. Think- 
ing himself ill-treated by the Government, and having been elected member of Parliament 
for Preston, he joined the opposition; whereupon an official order was sent to him, signifying 
that it was the King’s pleasure that he should return to America and rejoin his captive army. 
He remonstrated and was again ordered, and in consequence resigned all his civil and military 
employments. In this letter he gives an explanation of his conduct.

It has been conjectured that this is a re-issue of the first Edinburgh edition, of same date, 
with a different title page, but a very casual examination will suffice to show that it was

printed for the author at Edinburgh, whereas this was printed for Strahan at London. The

“No doubt THE FIRST AMERICAN EDITION.”— M’Kie’s “ Burnsiana.” 


“The New York edition of the works of Robert Burns, 1788, may so far be pronounced 
unique. No copy with the exception of the one named has been seen by the most sharp 
hawk-eyed book hunter, or the keenest bibliographer, nor by any of the living generation so 
far as known. I used to banter the Nestor of Vandewater Street (John Allan, who was 
very anxious to possess this book) that I would exchange my copy of the first American edi- 
tion for his Kilmarnock, the first Scotch edition, providing he would add a fifty dollar bill 
by way of inducing me to part with sucha rarity. He declined to comply with this generous 
offer and so never had the pleasure of being possessed of what he long had set his affections 
on. He lived in the hopes of some day procuring a copy, but before that day arrived he had 
“ passed that bourne from whence no traveller returns.” — “ WEsTERN MEmoraBiLIA,” [i. e.

It is a reprint, of Burns’ second edition of his Poems, with the Dedication ‘ to the Noble- 
men and Gentlemen of the Caledonian Hunt,” but leaving out the List of Subscribers, oc- 
cupying 38 pages in the original. The late William Gowans remarks: ‘It is difficult at this 
time to determine, whether this or the New York edition bearing the same date, was the first 
of Burns’s works published in America. It may, however, be presumed that the Philadelphia 
edition was the first perhaps by a month or two. The quaker city was then the capital of the 
lately enfranchised Colonies, and as a matter of course communication with Europe was 
much more frequent and direct than [with] any other port on the Atlantic coast.”

“This Narrative was privately printed for Mr. G. W. Riggs of Washington, entirely for 
presentation to societies and personal friends. It is the earliest relation of Florida, and the 
territory from the Atlantic coast across the Mississippi to the Pacific which we possess. 

The narration of the unfortunate expedition of Cabega de Vaca across the territory now 
occupied by the Southern States from Florida to Texas in the year 1527, nearly three and a 
half centuries ago, is full of the most melancholy yet absorbing interest. Nine years of 
wanderings and captivity among the Indians elapsed before this ill-fated member of a still 
more unfortunate band escaped almost alone of all who set out so joyously with him.”— T,

never was published. After printing a considerable edition the printers became alarmed, in 
view of the stringency of the law of libel at the time, and bethought themselves to take ad- 
vice. A small number of copies —I think twenty — were bound, and one of them was 
brought to the late Samuel M. Hopkins, then a young lawyer in Auburn, N. Y., for his 
opinion. Mr. Hopkins dipped into the book; read some twenty or thirty pages here and 
there; and informed the printer that ‘ he found, on the average, a libel to every page.” On 
this the memoir was suppressed.”

Speaking of this publication, the author’s biographer says, “* at a time when no Member 
of Parliament had sufficient decision of mind to propose the Independence of America, Major 
Cartwright suggested the expediency of an Union between Great Britain and her Colonies 
under separate Legislatures.” See also M. R., tvit1, 238.

“This rare Revolutionary Biography is replete with incidents of interest associated with 
the campaigns of Cornwallis, Tarleton, &c., in the South, and it is curious that no copy — 
either owing to its scarcity, or to the fact of its historical value being unknown — appeared in 
the libraries devoted to Americana, viz: those of Rice, Roche, Wight, Fisher, Davis, Mor- 
rell, and others.”

Catlin, of his authorship of the essay, of which, as only fifty copies were printed, little was

Chalkley was a Quaker preacher, who came to America in the year 1700, and settled at 
Philadelphia. He travelled and pfeached in all the British Colonies from New England to 
North Carolina. He also visited the West India Islands, and the Bermudas. ‘Some of 
the New England priests,” he says, ‘‘ were so bitter against Friends, that, instead of being 
humbled, under the mighty hand of God upon them in suffering the Indians to destroy them, 
they express’d their enmity against the poor Quakers.”

The copies of this edition vary in the maps. Mr. Lenox’s copy differs from that in the

apparently printed separately, after the first three were published.”— Rich. 

“Copies of any of the editions of Champlain in perfect condition are exceedingly rare, and

“This Narrative of Champlain’s First Voyage to the New World, is of great value to 
us in establishing, by an unimpeachable authority, the story of the awful cruelties which 
were inflicted upon the Indians of the West Indies by the Spaniards. Fac-simile lithographs 
of Champlain’s drawings are given; among which are representations of Indian feasts, flog- 
ging Indians to church, and burning groups of the natives at the stake. The biography gives 
an interesting narration of Champlain’s dealings with the Indians of New France.” — Fie/d.

A most beautiful specimen of Early Typography, in the finest possible state. Utric Zety 
was the first Cologne. Printer and a workman for Schoiffer, one of the first printers. To 
English Collectors his productions are still more interesting from his having been in all pro- 
bability the chief instructor of Witt1am Caxron, whose residence at Cologne is attested by 
himself in several of his interesting prefaces and colophons, many critics have also considered 
that he was the actual printer of the celebrated Trojan Histories. It is certain that Caxton 
used the same types at Cologne, probably after a course of instructions in the office of Zell, 
and with them printed his celebrated Playe of the Chesse.— See Humpbrey’s Hist. of Printing.

A SPLENDID COPY ; clean, fresh and crisp as it came from the press, and altogether 
such a one as cannot be excelled. 








The finest production of Franklin’s press, and really a splendid specimen of the art, The 
title page is rubricated. The translator was Judge James Logan; and Franklin, in his ad- 
dress, “The Printer to the Reader,” calls it, “‘ this first translation of a classic in this Wes- 
tern World,” which is not strictly correct. Sandys’ translation of Ovid was made in Vir- 
ginia about ninety years earlier, but printed and published in London; and Franklin himself 
had printed Cato’s ‘* Moral Distiches,” Englished in couplets, in 1739, which translation is 
attributed to James Logan. It is, doubtless, the second classic author translated and printed 
in North America, and is eagerly sought after by American collectors. Uncur copies are 
among the RAREST of RARE BooKs. We know of but four copies — the one mentioned above, 
one belonging to Mr. C. E. Mann, and one in each of the collections of Mr. C. H. Kalb-

The dedication to James Alexander, Esq., at New York, is dated, ‘ Coldingham, in the

to have become scarce as early as 1786, for in January of that year Mr. Jefferson, writing 
to Francis Hopkinson, observes :— ‘* Many, many years ago, Cadwallader Colden wrote a very 
small pamphlet on the subjects of Attraction and Impulsion, a copy of which he sent to 
Monsieur de Buffon. He was so charmed with it that he put it into the hands of a friend 
to translate, who lost it. It has ever since weighed upon his mind, and he has made re- 
peated trials to have it found in England. But in vain. He applied to me. I am in hopes 
if you write a line to the booksellers of Philadelphia to rummage their shops, that some of 
them will find it. Or perhaps some of the careful old people of Philadelphia or New Jersey 
may have preserved a copy.” Whether Hopkinson was successful does not appear.

“While still on board his caravel, February 15th, off the island of St. Mary, Columbus 
wrote two official accounts of his voyage, one of which was addressed to Raphael or Gabriel 
Sanchez or Sanxis, the Crown Treasurer. No copy, either in print or in manuscript, of the 
Spanish original, has yet been found, but the discovery made a few years ago, in the Am- 
brosian Library, of a printed copy of the letter addressed to Luis de Santangel, warrants the 
belief that not only it may have been printed, but that it is not irretrievably lost. As to the 
original itself, notwithstanding the diligent searches instituted by Mujfioz in Simancas, and 
Navarrete in the Lonja at Seville, where, after the establishment of the General Archives, 
of the Indies, in 1792, all documents relating to the Western World had been transferred, 
no traces of it have ever been discovered. The Spanish text of the letter to Santangel had 
been made known through Navarrette, who possessed a transcript from the original, which, 
in 1818, was still deposited among the archives at Simancas, It was not known then, or 
even suspected, that this important document had been printed before. This rarissime 
plaquette is printed in a kind of semi-gothic type, of the roughest character, resembling none 
of the incunabula which we have been able to examine. The fact alone that the text is in 
the Spanish language authorizes the belief that it was printed in Spain. ‘The text of the 
Ambrosian plaquette was first published three years ago. It is also in two late American 
publications, ‘The Marquis D’Adda has lately reproduced the entire letter in facsimile.”” —

8v0, 36 unnumbered leaves; the Letter of Columbus filling only the last seven and a balf; 6 
woodcuts. Citron morocco, paneled sides, gilt edges, by W. MaTTHEws. 


Of the seven early editions known of the Cosco translation of this celebrated Letter of 
CotumBus, only two bear a date. The first part of the work is simply a drama on the cap- 
ture of Granada from the Moors by Ferdinand. From that portion of the volume signature 
bb is wanting. In all other respects it is a most superior copy,and a volume OF EXTREME 
RARITY. 

Washington Irving, in his life of Columbus, is very eloquent in praise of the language 
used in this first document ever printed relative to the discovery of America, and he con- 
siders it, onthe whole, as far more authentic and valuable than the subsequent works of other 
authors, who, for the most part, wrote of things they never saw, and who recorded as facts, 
circumstances and deeds which were entirely fictitious, and existed only in their own im- 
aginations. All other writers, since the discovery of these precious gems, unite in admiration 
and the warmest eulogiums of their merit and extraordinary rarity. Dr. Robertson, not- 
withstanding his research, was totally unacquainted with their existence.

at the Corwin sale in 1856, since which time we have not seen another copy. Two leaves are 
a little stained, and there is a ms. note in a contemporary hand, at the bottom of p. 6. 


This discourse was written by John Davenport, of New Haven Colony, the name of John 
Cotton having been inserted in the title page by mistake. Its great influence in shaping our 
institutions is universally admitted. It is also interesting as ONE OF THE EARLIEST Booxs 
PRINTED IN THIS COUNTRY. There was no printing press in New York until thirty years 
after this date — 1663. 

This copy was sold by Royal Gurley, in 1847, for $14.50; wasre-sold by Bangs, in 1852, 
purchased by Mr. Corwin, and sold with his collection, in 1856, for $25, and would now 
(1871) command at least three times that amount.— See Sabin’s Dictionary.

AN UNEQUALLED COLLECTION 


OF 


DIBDIN’S BIBLIOGRAPHICAL WORKS ¥ aq mer, 


WITH UPWARDS OF J.W.DReXEL. 
ONE THOUSAND HIGH CLASS INSERTED ILLUSTRATIONS, | 


The following, beautiful, very complete, and extraordinary assem- 
blage of Dibdin’s Bibliographical Works has been made at a large 
cost of time and money, and is the result of many years of diligent 
and discriminative collecting. We venture to remark, that it would 
be difficult, if indeed it were possible, to produce another such set ; a 
conclusion at which the intelligent collector will speedily arrive on 
a careful perusal of the notes to the respective works, Itis unneces- 
sary to attempt to add to the superlative praises which have been 
lavished upon the works of Mr. Dibdin bythe most intelligent critics, 
and the most refined admirers of the productions of art. An English 
Reviewer remarks, ‘‘we are decidedly of opinion that no biblio- 
graphical collection can be complete without Mr. Dibdin’s volumes, 
which are, independent of the solid information they contain, fre- 
quently enlivened by literary anecdotes, and rendered generally in- 
teresting by great variety of observation, and acuteness of remark.” 

Mr. Allibone observes, ‘‘ Now of all Englishmen who have ever 
lived, there never was a man better suited to make a dry-study at- 
tractive, and a learned subject plain, than Dr. Dibdin of Roxburghe 
memory. ‘This magician could with his pen dress up a begrimed, 
uncouth-looking volume, in more attractive style than could Grolier’s 
binder with his most cunning tools. He could convert ‘ Belindas’ 
and ‘ Almasas’ into BrsLioMANracs, and makea dry catalogue of old 
English poetry more attractive than the last novel. It was but neces- 
sary for him to apply the epithets ‘ excessively rare,’ or ‘ exceedingly 
curious, ’ and the neglected Caxton in your garret would buy you a 
year’s clothing for your household, and the old family Bible would 
defray your Christmas festivities.” 

The set here noted is especially remarkable for the strength and 


beauty of the impressions of the plates, the spotless purity of the paper, — 


its large and uncut margins, the appropriate chasteness of its binding, 
and the extraordinary character of the numerous added illustrations. 
As the several works of Dibdin greatly vary in size, an attempt 
has been made, in the present instance, to obtain all the uniformity 
of range possible. ‘This can only be accomplished by selecting large 
paper copies of some of the works, and small paper copies of others, 
which method has been adopted by the owner of this set, with very 
considerable success. ‘The collection is uniformly bound in half 
crushed rich olive brown levant morocco, gilt top, UNCUT, by W. 
Matruews; Mr. Utterson’s copy of the ‘‘ Bibliomania,” and ** Book 
Rarities,” excepted, which are gilt edged.

The tools used in its ornamentation were cut expressly for the set, 
and each volume has had the same care and attention in its forward- 
ing and finishing, as if it were in full binding; the present style having 
been adopted in order that perfect freedom might be exercised in the 
use of the volumes for reference or examination. In fine, we do not 
hesitate to state, that, taking the collection volume for volume, leaf 
for leaf, and plate for plate, its purity and beauty of condition cannot 
be excelled, if indeed equalled, by any other, either in, or out of, the 
United States. It may here be remarked that no part of the set has 
been subjected to the process of washing, as the crisp and firm texture 
of each and every leaf, throughout, will sufficiently testify. 
The several works are here, with two or three exceptions, arranged 
in chronological order. |

Many of the plates in this copy are selected impressions from the unused stock in the hands 
of a London bookseller, and are consequently much finer than those usually found in the work.

“ This catalogue contains only the works printed inthe fifteenth century and the Editiones

casion to consult its pages, can testify to its accuracy and great utility. The collection is the 
finest private one in Europe; the catalogue will ever be regarded as of the first importance 
to the theologian, the historian, andthe critic, and as a perfect model for the bibliographer.”—

Complete sets are of EXCESSIVE RARITY in any condition; and perhaps unfindable on India

“ A work calculated to have as intoxicating an effect on the imagination of literary antiqua- 
ries, as the adventures of the heroes of the Round Table on all true knights, or the tales of 
the early American voyagers on the ardent spirits of their age. It has not passed, however, 
without some hostile (though unfounded) remarks from the printers, binders, and librarians 
of France.”— Wrangbham.

books. 

“It is very curious, consisting of a number of proof sheets of the Foreign Bibliographical 
Tour, with numerous alterations, remarks, &c. &c. These sheets are called First Thoughts, 
because the text in the published work varies considerably therefrom.”

“¢ A large part of this very rare work is devoted toa description of the natives of the New 
Netherlands. Van der Donck arrived in New Amsterdam in 1642. He served as the 
sheriff of the colony of Rensselaerwyck, and purchased an estate on the Hudson, near the 
site of the village of Yonkers. Before this work was published, he had printed dn Exposi- 
tion of the New Netherlands (Hague, 1650,) in which the administrations of Kieft and 
Stuyvesant were vigorously assailed. A division of the work before us, found on page 52, 
is entitled, ‘* Of the Manners and peculiar Customs of the Natives of the New-Netherlands.” 
This is subdivided into twenty-two sections, each treating of some of the peculiarities of the 
savages of the state of New York. The whole covering pp. 52 to81. The treatise possesses 
an interest beyond its rarity, in being the relation of an educated man, regarding the Indians 
of the island and neighborhood of New-York. The work was translated by Gen. J. John- 
son, and printed in the sixth volume of the New York Historical Society.”— Fie/d.

This BEAUTIFULLY BOUND, and ELEGANTLY ILLUSTRATED work is one of the crms of this 
collection ; and is, perhaps, at once, one of the MosT EXTENSIVELY as well as MOST TASTEFULLY 
ILLUSTRATED sets in existence. As intending purchasers will examine and decide for them- 
selves, we refrain from attempting to describe the contents of this UNniqur, ELEGANT, and 
Hicuiy Inrerestinc Boox, further than to quote what here follows from an intelligent 
correspondent of the New York Evening Mail. ‘* Among the illustrations will be found 
portraits of almost all the prominent American artists named in the work, and engraved 
specimens, so far as they could be procured, of the style or manner of each individual painter 
or engraver. In illustrating this book its present owner has exhibited admirable judgment 
in the selection of specimens of the different styles of our artists. He has in all ‘cases en- 
deavoured to secure an impression from the very block or plate criticised or otherwise spoken 
of in the text. This is the true and only correct method of illustrating such works; here 
we have the engraving on one page and on the other a criticism of it —the artist and the 
critic communing as it were, together.” 

The following work which may be considered as a continuation of this, is uniform in size 
and style of binding, and should accompany it.

This is one of the copies having the Depication To Kino Cuartzs, of which, according 
to Thomas, (Hist. of Printing.) Twenty Copies onLy were printed. 

It has been newly bound by Mr. Francis Beprorp, who pronounced it to be the FINEST 
copy he had ever seen, and who thus describes his own work. ‘ Olive Levant gros grained 
morocco ; Elegantly Ornamented back, and double paneled sides, Diamond Centre and Diamond 
Corners in rich Harleian style, joints inside richly band tooled, and crimson silk linings against 
marble paper facings, double silk bead bands, enclosed in a Solander Case of blue English morocco, 
full gilt and lettered back, lined with white velvet.” 

Mr. J. H. Trumbull’s Translation of the Catechism at the end of the volume, of which a 
few copies only were printed for presentation to the owners of copies of the Bible, will accompany 
it. The Translation matches and ranges with the Solander case containing the Bible, and 
was also bound by Mr. Beprorp. 

This copy was a duplicate from the Bodleian Library at Oxford, and reached the United 
States in 1862, seeking a purchaser at $1000. It was bought by Mr. Bruce, and again sold 
at the dispersion of his library in 1868, when the writer bought it for Mr. Rice, at a cost of 
$1150. It was then first discovered that the /eaf of contents was wanting. Fortunately, 
however, an imperfect copy of the Bible happened to be accessible, from which the needed 
leaf was obtained, and Mr. Rice was made happy by the acquisition of what he imagined to 
be a perfect copy of -Eliot’s Indian Bible. At the sale of Mr. Rice’s collection in 1870, it 
again changed hands, having been purchased by Mr. Bouton, from whom it was obtained by 
its present owner, who discovered that the leaf of contents inserted by Mr. Rice, was that 
belonging to the second edition, and replaced it with a GENuINE leaf from an imperfect copy 
of the First EDITION then in his possession. ‘The book is therefore now ABSOLUTELY PER- 
FECT THROUGHOUT; a GENUINE FIRST EDITION from BEGINNING TO END, beyond cavil or 
question.’ It is without doubt, the rrnEsT copy that has, for many years, been offered for sale, 





- and is believed to be the BEsT, in point of size, preservation, and internal condition (if we 


except the Bodleian Library stamp, on the reverse of the titles), of any on this side of the 
Atlantic. The Allan copy was slightly sHorrer. In this copy Proor Leaves are to be met 
with at every few pages, while in the Allan copy there were few or none. In short, it is 
a Matcuiess Copy. 

“Mr. Eliot, pastor of Roxbury, Mass., commenced, at the age of forty two, the study of 
the Natick Indian dialect, in which this work is printed. In 1649, having made some pro- 
ficiency, he expressed a desire to translate a portion of the Scriptures into that language for

the use of the Indians to whom he acted as a Missionary, and with the aid of an Indian, 
completed the translation of the entire Bible, including the Old and New Testament, in 
1658, after a labor of eight years. ‘This fact having been communicated to the Corporation 
established in London for the Propagation of the Gospel among the Indians of New- England, 
that body expressed themselves, in a letter dated 7th of May, 1659, on the subject of printing 
the work, in the following terms : 

‘As to the printing of the Bible in the Indian language; mensioned in Mr. Endicott’s 
‘letter; which wee vnderstand is alreddy translated into the Indian tounge; wee conceuie 
‘will not onely be acceptable vnto God; but very proffitable to the poor heathen and will 
‘much tend to the promotion of the sperituall part of this worke amongst them; and therfor 
‘wee offer it not only as our owne but as the judgment of others that the New Testament 
‘bee first printed in the Indian language.’ ‘The printing of that part was accordingly com- 
menced by Samuel Green, of Cambridge, the same year. Writing in April, 1660, the 
Corporation add: ‘ We haue out of our desire to further a worke of soe great consernment 
‘hauing hopes that somethinge will bee collected in particulare with Relation to the printing 
‘of the ould Testament, agreed with an able Printer for three years.’” 

Marmaduke Johnson accordingly arrived in this country to superintend the printing. 

¢ It has been already stated that Mr. Eliot completed the immense labour of translating 
this Bible in 1658, but the printing of the Old Testament was not commenced until 1660. 
In September of that year, a sheet of Genesis was transmitted to England. ‘ The printers doubt 
not but to print a sheet every weeke, and compute the whole to amount to a hundred and fifty sheets. 
In September, 1661, the five books of Moses were printed; in September, 1662, the work 
was about half done, and completed in September, 1663. Three years were thus occupied 
in the completion of the Old Testament. The Corporation had already ordered, in April, 
1663, ‘that the Psalmes of David, in meter, shalbee printed in the Indian language.’ On 
the 18th of Sept., following, twenty copies of the Bible were ordered to be sent to England, 
‘and as many of the Psalmes, if printed of before the shippes departure from hence.’ The 
edition, including the Psalm books, consisted of upwards of 1000 copies. Three hundred 
and sixty-eight reams of paper were used in printing the Bible; the expense ranged from 
sixty to seventy shillings sterling a sheet. The. cost of printing the Psalms was forty shil- 
lings a sheet, or £26, in the whole; of printing the ‘Epistle dedicatory’ to the Bible, £1, 
and of ‘binding and clasping,’ two shillings and sixpence per copy. JouNn Rarcrirr, the 
bookbinder, objected to this low price, and avowed in a petition to the Commissioners, 
‘that under 3s. 4d. or 3s. 6d. per book’ he could not bind them and live comfortably, ‘ one 
Bible being as much as he could compleat in one day,’ and find the materials.”— O’Cat- 
LAGHAN. 

Among the many points of interest which this book possesses, not the least is the fact, 
that it is the language of a nation no longer in existence, and is almost the only monument 
of the race; another, that it is the first edition of the Bible published in this country. The 
very sight of it caused the quaint Cotton Mather to exclaim: ‘ Behold, ye Americans, the 
greatest honour that ever you were partakers of ! This ... is the only Bible that ever was printed 
in all America, from the very foundation of the World.” 

The names of the Books are retained as in the English veysions, and such words as were 
unknown to the Indians are retained with an Indian termination, such as cherubim/ah, &c. 
The longest word is, Mark, i, 40: Wutteppesittukqussunnoowehtunkquoh, signifying 
“kneeling down to him.”

the Spirits. Cambridge: Printed by Marmaduke Fohnson. 1665. 

16mo, title, pp. 38. Crushed blue levant morooco, paneled sides, corner ornaments, filleted and

ONE oF THE VERY Eartirst NEw ENGLAND IMPRINTS. 


The verso of the title reads: ‘ Although a few Copies of this small Script are | Printed ; 
yet it is not published, onely [sic] committed | privately to some Godly and Able hands, to 
be Viewed, | Corrected, Amended, or Rejected, as it shall be found to| hold weight in the 
Sanctuary Ballance [sic] or not. |...| The procuring of half so many copies written and | cor- 
rected, would be more difficult and chargeable, then [sic] | the Printing of these few |... | 
John Eliot.” | Beyond any doubt this is THE FIRST PRIVATELY PRINTED AMERICAN BOOK. 
Martin, in his ‘‘ Catalogue of Books, Privately Printed,” notices but seven titles during the 
entire century in which this interesting little volume was printed. This, the only known 
copy is uncut, and has manuscript alterations by a contemporary hand — probably by Eliot 
himself. It is, we believe, UNIQUE.

Cuartes Tuomson, Secretary to Congress, was the author of this most interesting and 
valuable Enquiry. ' 

“One of the principal causes of the hostility of the Pennsylvania Indians, was the wicked 
craft practiced upon them by Governor Thomas Penn, and other proprietors in 1737. Certain 
chiefs having been called together by the speculators, two persons were found to testify that 
they were present at a council fifty years before, at which as much land was ceded to William 
Penn, as aman could walk around in a dayand a half. There was a chief living who could 
have proved this testimony false, but he was carefully kept in ignorance of the council, and 
by mean fraud, endless perjury, and tempting but specious gifts, the surreptitious deed was 
ratified. To locate as large a territory as possible, a trained pedestrian was employed, who 
was met at appointed stations by refreshments, and thus was enabled to traverse a route which 
cut off a million acres from the Indian territory. Less than one third that quantity of land 
was the amount which the Indians had been led to expect would be ceded. Endless con- 
ferences, and numerous councils, were followed by bloody massacres, that devastated the 
border settlements of Pennsylvania and Virginia, for twenty years. Mr. Thomson’s work 
fully analyzes the cause of the alienation, which the heroic Quaker, Christian Post, hazarded 


his life to overcome.” — Fie/d.

use of his notes in the compilation of this catalogue. 

“This bibliographical handbook, embracing a collection of about 1800 works, may be 
considered the chief, if not the only one of its kind. The author’s notes are judicious and 
valuable, and have an interest beyond even the actual subject of the Essay. Collectors of

range of study and experience.”— B. Quaritch.

George Fox was the founder of the Society of Friends or Quakers. In the course of his 
public ministrations he visited America twice, where he spent two years. He was a volumi- 
nous writer. A list of his works fills no less than fifty-one pages in Smith’s * Catalogue of 
Friends’ Books.” Charles Lamb speaks highly of Fox’s writings. On one occasion Fox 
preached for five unbroken hours to an assemblage of patient Indians.

Dr. FRANKLIN’s COPY, WITH HIS MANUSCRIPT NoTES. This was purchased at the sale or 
Mr. Morrell’s Library, from whose catalogue the following notice is reprinted: ‘ Of this 
unique volume, possessing as it does the greatest historical interest, it is needless to say more 
than that I have always considered it one of the choicest, in point of rarity, in my collection. 
The following lines in Franklin’s handwriting, on page 12, will serve as a specimen of the 
character of the notes (with which nearly every page is copiously filled): ‘My Duty to the 
King & Justice to my Country, will, I hope, justify me if I likewise protest, which I do 
with all Humility, in behalf of myself and of Every American, and of our Posterity, against 
your Declaratory Bill, that the Parliament of Great Britain, hath not, never had, and ot 
Right never can have, without our Consent given either before or after, Power to make 
Laws of sufficient Force to bind the Subjects in America in any Case whatever, and particu- 
larly in Taxation.’” 

On the last leaf occurs the following, also in FRANKLIN’s HANDWRITING. ‘*] have some 
little Property in America. I will freely spend nineteen Shillings in the Pound to defend 
my Right of giving or refusing the other Shilling, and after all, if I cannot defend that Right, 
I can retire chearfully with my little Family into the Boundless Woods of America which 
are sure to afford Freedom and Subsistance to any man who can bait a Hook or pull a Trigger.”

beautiful impressions of the sevENTY-Two ILLUSTRATIONS IN GOLD AND CoLours, of the First 
IssuE of 1844-45; published at twelve guineas. In consequence of the wear of the stones 
the subsequent issues are defaced and undesirable. The work itself is the rirst EDITION

impressions. 

TWO ELEGANT VOLUMES. 

Sir Walter Scott, in his ‘* Tales of my Landlord,” thus speaks of the above: “Did you 
ever read Froissart ?”” ‘* No,” said Morton. ‘I have half a mind,” said Claverhouse, “ to 
contrive you should have six months’ imprisonment in order to procure you that pleasure. 
His chapters inspire me with more enthusiasm than even poetry itself.”

“T rejoice you have met with Froissart; he is the Herodotus of a barbarous age; had he 
but had the luck of writing in as good a language he might have been immortal! His loco- 
motive disposition (for then there was no other way of learning things), his simple curiosity, 
his religious credulity, were much like those of the old Grecian.” — Gray’s Letters.

“In my judgment, Mr. Frothingham’s work excels any that has appeared on insu- 
lated points of our history. It is the best of our historic monographs that I have seen. Its 
author has been patient in research, and very successful; has been most impartial; has 
brought to excellent materials a sound and healthy judgment, and after finishing all this, his 
work is pervaded with a modesty which lends a new charm to its merit.” — George Bancroft.

GAGE. 


This elegant copy has been in the possession of Mr. Utterson, and the Rev. T. Corser, 
and is worthy of companionship with the choicest of books. It is of the Greatest PossIBLE 
Rarity ina fine and complete condition like this. There isa copy in the Lambeth Library, 
and one in the British Museum, and there was said to be a copy in the collection of Mr. 
Nuenburg, but it did not appear in the catalogue of his library. It is conspicuous by its ab- 
sence from the Grenville collection, and from the library at Althorpe; nor did Mr. Heber 
succeed in obtaining it. Dibdin never saw a copy, but described it from Herbert’s account. 
The present example is a very desirable one, as it rarely happens that an English book of so 
early a date, by one of the first printers, is found insuch clean, sound state. Next after CaxTon, 
the name of his pupil, WyNkyN pE Worpg, is most famous in the annals of English typo- 
graphy. Although by birth a Lorrainer, he devoted himself to England, and did more than 
any other of the early English printers to spread knowledge by means of the press.

his Voyage from Spain to St. John de Ulhua;|and from thence to

With the description of that great City, | as it was in former times, and 
also at this present. | Likewise his Journey from Mexico through the 
provinces of Guaxaca, | Chiapa, Guatemala, Vera Paz, Truxillo, Com-

Sm. folio, 5/., pp. 220, (12). Half gray calf antique. A beautiful copy. 


This book is remarkable as the first and only extensive work by an English author upon 
the Spanish Indies as seen from within. It is most entertaining and instructive, notwith- 
standing the singularly superstitious tales that it narrates. Gage belonged to the Dominican 
order originally, but joined the English church before he wrote his travels. The 22d chapter 
relating to his journey to Rome, was suppressed in the subsequent editions.

Galloway at first espoused American independency, but subsequently joined the home 
party and wrote against the Americans. Even at thislate hour he scribbles for the recovery 
of the colonies and against their independence. Trumbull hits him hard, thus :— 


“Did you not, in as vile and shallow way, 
Fright our poor Philadelphian, Galloway, 
Your Congress, when the loyal ribald 
Belied, berated and bescribbled ? 
What ropes and halters did you send, 
Terrific emblems of his end, 
Till, lest he’d hang in more than effigy, 
Fled in a fog the trembling refugee ?”— Mc Fingal.

Dr. Gordon went to America in 1770, remained there until 1786, and wrote a con- 
siderable part of his work on thespot. Congress allowed him the inspection of such records 
as could with propriety be submitted to the perusal of a private person. Washington, Gates, 
Greene, Lincoln and Otho H. Williams, also allowed a liberal examination of their papers. 
“‘ The accounts here given of American Affairs,” says the author, “are so different in seve- 
ral respects from what have been the conceptions of many on each side of the Atlantic, that 
it was necessary to insert a variety of letters, papers, and anecdotes, to authenticate the 
narrative.”

“The Trustees of the British Museum have just had printed Part III. of the ‘ Bibliotheca 
Grenvilliana,’ completing the Catalogue of the library bequeathed to the British Museum, by 
the late Right Hon. Thomas Grenville, with a General Index. This third part has been 
drawn up with great care by Mr. Rye, the Keeper of the Printed Books. The generalIndex __ 
to the entire library is a most valuable feature in the present publication. Mr. Grenville, it 
may be mentioned, died on the 17th of December, 1846, and his magnificent library was re- 
ceived in the British Museum in January of the following year. The first part of the Cata- 
logue of his library, drawn up by Messrs. Payne and Foss, was published in 1842, and the 
second part 1n 1848.”— Atheneum.

This extraordinary collection of old English poetry formed part of the extensive library of we 
Thomas Hill (the Hull of Theodore Hook in his Gilbert Gurney), when he failed in business _ H. 
as a sugar baker. ‘This portion of the library, its great value not being known to the cre- 
ditors, was presented to him. He afterwards sold it to Messrs. Longman & Co., who em- . ; 
ployed Griffiths to make out this catalogue raisonnée. The initials at the beginning of each — 
letter have very neat woodcuts of the poets from rare prints. It is now very scarce.

“¢ Written by himself,’ or this little book of 96 pages would most likely have been pro- 
nounced the greatest libel upon the greatest man New York ever produced. It has been 
claimed to the honor of his friends that they endeavored to suppress it. It was copyrighted, 
and never reprinted but once until recently, but scarce as it has become, it is now part of 
American literature. Hamilton was charged with ‘a connection with one James Reynolds 
for purposes of improper pecuniary speculation.” ‘My real crime,’ confesses the late Secretary 
not without a blush, ‘is an amorous connection with his [Reynolds] wife for a considerable 
time, with his privity and connivance.’ That was how he came to be the private banker 
of the husband of Mrs. Reynolds, ‘ from whose conversation it was quickly apparent that 
other than pecuniary consolation would be acceptable,’ p. 18. Truth never appeared so 
naked as in these confessions of Alexander Hamilton.” — Stevens.

Mission, its wonderful success and its appalling destruction. He was able to give a thousand 
particulars from personal experience, and it is at once an interesting story, abounding in 
veritable incidents; and a valuable history, fortified by impregnable facts. Forty years of 
missionary life among the Delaware and Shawnese tribes, had amply fitted the author to re- 
cord the facts which fell under his own knowledge.” — Fie/d.

“¢ Hennepin was persecuted, and has been severely criticised, chiefly on account of his op- 
position to the Jesuits, and because he counselled William III. (in whose dominions he had 
sought for the freedom and safety which he could not find in France) to send out missiona- 
ries to the New World. His enemies considered such advice from a monk as heretical 
and detestable ; it simply proves the wiser, purer and more Catholic Christianity of Henne- 
pin, who had no bigoted horror for other sects than his own.” — Stevens.

the sources of information then accessible, and no one has ever exceeded him in careful re-

original documents, which the industry and spirit of the old missionaries and explorers made 
so numerous and voluminous. He copied, almost bodily, the MS. History of the Indies by 
Las Casas. Mr. Squier notices that he has transferred almost the entire MS. Relacion of

Folio, thick gros grained brown levant morocco elegant, richly blind tooled entirely over the 
covers to an old English Caxton pattern, with Tudor Rose, Fleurs de Lis and Acorns, in exact 
tsimile of an early Caxton binding, gilt edges, by F. Brprorp. EXTREMELY RARE. 


“ This LrarcEe and ELEGANT copy of the Potycuronicon, than which “ few of Caxton’s 
books have excited more interest and research,” is a SPLENDID EXAMPLE of typographical art 
from the hands of ENGLAND’s First Printer nearly Four Hunprep YeEarsago. It measures 
74 inches by 104 inches on the leaf, and therefore, is fully up to the average size of all the 
copies referred to by Mr. Blades in his life of Caxton. Of the 29 copies enumerated by him 
all but five are imperfect, some being fragments merely, as in the case of one of those in 
the British Museum, which contains but six leaves only. A noticeable feature in Mr. 
Blades’s list is that almost every incomplete copy is deficient in the earlier portions of the 
work, thus accounting for the fact that the two leaves of the Proheme alone, would pro- 
bably command forty pounds in London. 

This beautiful copy contains atx the prefatory matter, except the Table of Contents, with 
which exception, and that of the “‘ Liber Ultimus ” written by Caxton himself in continua- 
tion of the history, it will be found to meet Mr. Blades’s collation of the text in every par- 
ticular. A few leaves have been repaired by Mr. Bedford in his neatest manner. In every 
other respect the volume is in a FINE STATE OF PRESERVATION, 

The Charlemont copy, though imperfect, sold for £477.10.0.

“‘ The collecting and publication of these important papers in England is due to Thomas 
Hollis, an ardent friend of the Colonies in London. They include the celebrated letter 
written by Samuel Adams to Dennis De Berdt, Agent for the House of Representatives in 
England, dated January 12, 1768, adopted by the Colonial Legislature and signed by the 
Speaker. Until recently there were doubts as to the authorship of this document, but all 
uncertainty is now removed, Mr. Bancroft having in his possession the original draft in the 
handwriting of Mr. Adams. In speaking of this Mr. Bancroft says, On the sixth day of 
January, and for the evening and morning of many succeeding days, the paper was under 
severe examination. Seven times it was revised ; every word was weighed, every sentence 
considered ; and each seemingly harsh expression tempered and refined. At last, on the 
twelfth of January, the letter was adopted, to be sent to the Agent, communicated to the 
British Ministry, and published to the world, as expressing the unchangeable opinions of 
Massachusetts.” — History of the United States, Vol. VI. p. 120-125.

A MOST BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE of the Rare First Epition, “ Secundum Usum Romanum,” 
PRINTED BY Kerver, with a date, and a fine specimen of his early and celebrated Press; the 
ornamental illuminations are of equal merit, and interesting specimens of French Art; the 
Costumes being of a rich and varied character. 

“ Thielmann Kerver, who commenced to publish his ‘ Hours’ in 1497, at first used the 
press of Jean Philippe; but he soon printed for himself, for we remark that from the end 
of this same year, 1497, he printed for Jean Richard of Rouen, and for Pierre Regnault of 
Caen, who, in 1492 had employed Pigouchet. He lived then on Pont St. Michel. Three 
years after, he sold his shop to Gillett Remacle, bookseller, for whom he printed ‘ Hours ’ in 
1500, 1501,1502and 1503, in the Rue St. Jacques, where he died in 1522. His widow suc- 
ceeded him atthe end of this year. She continued until 1556 to publish books of liturgy in 
all forms. One remarkable thing is, that though the editions are very numerous, the‘ Hours’ 
of Kerver are rarer than those of Vostre or of the two Hardouins. ‘This comes probably 
from the fact that few were printed upon vellum, and that the copies on paper have been 
destroyed. Besides, among those which appeared before 1520, only the first, with borders 
round the pages, are worthy of being collected ; and these borders are desirable for the arab- 
esque, a style in which he excelled. It is supposed that Kerver rarely used painting to 
decorate his books, for but few have come down to us thus ornamented. ’? — Brunet.

The only copy that has been sold in New York during many years was in the Bruce sale. 
It was bought for Mr. Rice and resold with his Collection when it brought $140.00, and 
was a copy much inferior to this. Mr. Quaritch, in a recent catalogue, offers a copy for 
£45, and remarks “I know of no other copysold in the London market.”” The work had 
become so scarce even in 1810, that the editor of the edition of that year intimates that he 
experienced the greatest difficulty in finding a copy. Parker (the printer of this volume) 
was an apprentice to Bradford, and succeeded to the business in 1742.

lows on the map itself: “¢.4 map of New England, being the first that ever was here cut, and

less exact; yet doth it sufficiently show the situation of the country, and conveniently well the dis-

which did not contain it. It possesses in itself high bibliographical interest, for, according to 
Thomas’s History of Printing, it is probably THE FIRST BOOK PRINTED IN BOSTON, 
all the printing in the British Colonies, previous to 1676, being done at Cambridge, and in 
that year the First pREss was set up at Boston. The entire work was reprinted at London 
in the following year, a copy of which is offered in a recent catalogue of Mr. Quaritch at

Imp. 40, illuminated cloth, uncut. No. 126 of the First 1ssuE of 300 copies only, with 
the publisher’s certificate to that effect inserted. 


‘“‘ The illustrations of this work, which, unlike fac-similes produced by hand, must mecessa- 
rily be absolute reproductions of their originals, exceed one hundred in number, and fre- 
quently consist of representations of entire pages from many of the most interesting books 
produced by the early printers. Among them may be mentioned an entire folio page from 
the first printed Bible, the magnificent work of Gutenberg, richly adorned with ornamental 
borderings by a contemporary German illuminator. An entire page from the celebrated 
Psalter of Scheffer, in which the large capitals are PRINTED IN CoLouRs, in rivalry with the 
illuminators of the time. Pages from the first books printed in Irary, France, Spain, 
FLanpveErs, and HoLLanp, accompany the accounts of the introduction of the printing press 
to those countries; and several such entire pages in fac-simile illustrate the description of 
the works of Witt1am Caxton, the founder of the printing press in England. In addition 
to these and many illustrations of other kinds, will be found a very interesting and an 
abundant series of examples from the most richly decorated of the French “ Hora#,” and 
from the profusely illustrated German books produced in the first half of the sixteenth 
century.”

‘¢ The great beauty of many of the books produced by the Early Printers, both as regards 
the remarkable and various character of their Types, and the exquisitely designed Initials and 
Borderings with which their pages are enriched, is scarcely known and appreciated beyond 
the narrow circle of enthusiastic bibliographers who have made the first works that issued 
from the printing press a subject of special study ; and it is to make them more widely known 
that the present work has been projected. The greater part of the examples are now pub- 
lished for the first time, and have never appeared in any other bibliographical work. They 


comprise designs by Woxtcemutn, Durer, Burcemair, Cranacu, and others equally cele- 
brated.”

gram in centre, the whole after an original design prepared expressly for the work ; back in unison ; 
broad inside borders beautifully inlaid, tooled and gilt on polished green morocco ; rich watered 
silk linings; morocco joints; gilt top; UNCUT ; each volume in a sLip-casE lined with velvet 
finished chamois leather ; by W.Marruews: a MASTERPIECE of ARTISTIC BOOKBINDING, de- 
scribed by bimse/f in a letter, which accompanies the set, and from which the following is an 
extract. 

‘‘] have never felt so great a responsibility in binding a set of books before. The ma- 
terial, consisting of so large a number of engravings and letters, of every size and shape, re- 
quiring strength and flexibility alike, and their correct arrangement, was of itself sufficient, 
but to forward true, and handsomely finish twelve volumes, so that either one may be taken 
as a sample of the rest, is an effort not easily accomplished in the art of bookbinding. In 
all these particulars I think I have never been more successful. In the minute correctness 
of the finishing I will challenge the world to produce so many volumes so exact and so per- 
fect in their ornamentation. Mr. Gibson has been steadily employed on them since July 
roth, to December 1st, and is unequalled as an exact finisher and designer. ‘The exact 
amount of wages paid this workman was $502.97. I may add that no workman ever 
worked more faithfully, and the exactness of so large a piece of work is a marvel of modern 
patience, no finisher or expert could detect which volume was done first or last. Aside from 
the binding you have the most exquisitely illustrated set of books that ever went through my 
hands, the book is worthy of the binding, and I shall feel happy to hear you say the binding 
is worthy of the book.” ay 

Independent of the one hundred and two India proof plates which form a part of the ori- 
ginal work, many of which are genuine unlettered first proofs obtained directly from Mr. 
Putnam in advance of their issue, this TRULY MATCHLESS COPY of the Lirzt or WASHINGTON

tion ; comprising Two HUNDRED and TWENTY-TWO PORTRAITS of WASHINGTON ; EIGHT HUN- 
DRED and sIXTY-ONE PORTRAITS of his CoMPEERS and ASSOCIATES; TWO HUNDRED and

The “ms. Cuaprer.” Contains an Inpra proor portrait of the auTHoR engraved by 
Hatpin from the picture by Martin, and a RUBRICATED TITLE PAGE printed by Mr. Mun- 
SELL expressly for the volume. 


The ‘CHARACTER AND Portraits,” which has been treated as an independent work and 
entirely irrespective of the Lirz, etc., contains (in addition to the Twelve Illustrations pub- 
lished with the volume, all of which are selected India proofs, and India proofs before letters, ) 
Forty-Four inserted ILtusrrations, of which Forty-one are Portraits of WASHINGTON, 
many of them vERyY RARE, and embracing Five uNLETTERED INDIA PRooF impressions and 
ONE PROOF impression from PRIVATE PLATES, besides FIFTEEN other UNLETTERED INDIA 
PROOF impressions of the FIRST CLAss. 


The numerous portraits which constitute so large an element in the illustration of this 
unrivalled set are uniformly brilliant impressions, selected with the most fastidious care, and 
of the finest description throughout. Many of them were imported from England, France, 
and Germany, during the preparation of the work, especially for its embellishment, as they 
could not then, nor could they now, be obtained in this Country, and many large and ex- 
pensive engravings were reduced in order to obtain a single good head of some notable 
personage prominent in the text. They represent nearly every eminent character referred to 
in the work, and are thought to comprise every thing that is rare, curious, or fine in that 
connection, including TWENTY BEAUTIFUL PORTRAITS Of FRANKLIN, and the pair of Wash- 
ington and Franklin, painted and etched by Cuartes Witson Prete, which are so RARE 
that fifty dollars have been paid for an impression of the Franklin head alone. The portraits of 
Washington were selected from an assemblage of upwards of four hundred, the result of 
many years of discriminative collecting by the present owner of the work. They are ALL 
in fine condition, ALL essentially different, comprehend every known rare or curious portrait 
of that illustrious character, and their duplication, under almost any circumstances, may well 
be questioned. 


The coloured photographs mostly represent persons whose portraits have not been pub- 
licly engraved. They were executed in the best and most careful manner by an accomplished 
artist, irrespective of cost, exclusively for these volumes. ‘The Water Colour Drawings, 
which chiefly represent the various Head-Quarters of Washington, and other notable locali- 
ties, were mostly taken on the spot expressly for this copy of the work. 


The Autograph letters, notes, and documents are of the highest interest, and of much 
historical value, nearly all relating and pertinent to the period, circumstance, or event re- 
ferred to in the narrative. Many of them possess no inconsiderable value as autographs 
merely, such, for instance, as those of Mrs. Wasnincron, Brnepicr ARNoLp, ETHAN 
ALien, Cor. PETER Gansevoort, Gen. Ropert Howr, Baron De Kars, Kosciuszxo, 
De Esratne, LarayetTte and others. 


The Inlaying of many hundreds of the engravings was intrusted carte blanche to Mr. 
GrorGE TRENT, who executed the work in the most artistic and satisfactory manner. 


An ardent admirer of the character of Gen. Washington, the owner of these volumes 
spent the leisure of ten years, and no small.amount of money, in their con amore preparation. 
They are in the FINEST STATE OF PRESERVATION, PERFECT IN £VERY DETAIL, the TEXT and 
PLATES, without any exception, purr and spoTLess from beginning to end throughout, and 
we do not hesitate to assert, that, take them all in all, they constitute THE FINEST, MOST 
COMPLETE, AND MOST DESIRABLE ILLUSTRATED LIFE OF WASHINGTON 
EVER PRODUCED.

Made the object of the hatred and detestation of the civilized world, by Jefferson’s publica-

hesitate to collect a company of his formidable riflemen, and march to aid his countrymen

October, 1775, and was buried in Trinity church-yard.”— Field.

*‘ This edition of Mr. Jefterson’s celebrated Notes was evidently printed in Paris; but as 
Mr. Jefferson did not reach France until the year 1784, the date on the title probably is not 
that of the year in which it was printed, but of the year in which the manuscript was com- 
pleted. A copy presented to M. Malesherbe had the following note, in Mr. Jefferson’s 
handwriting. ‘Mr. Jefferson having had a few copies of these notes printed to present to 
some of his friends, and to some estimable characters beyond that line, takes the liberty of 
presenting a copy to M. de Malesherbe, as a testimony of his respect to his character. Un- 
willing to expose them to the public eye, he begs the favour of M, de M. to put them into 
the hands of no person on whose care and fidelity he cannot rely, to guard them against 
publication.” ”"—Rich. 

It is not known of how many copies the privately printed edition consisted; but they 
were unquestionably very few, rendering it one of the scarcesT Booxs in the whole Ameri-

“ The most extraordinary and valuable collection ever made of the narratives of a class of 
men who, two centuries before what we term civilization, had prostrated the forests, ex- 
plored the vast territories covered by them, recorded the peculiarities of the natives, and in 
many instances bestowed upon them the blessings of Christianity. These relations, for many 
years looked upon through the haze of sectarian distrust, were lightly esteemed by the stu- 
dents of American history, but the more their character and statements were investigated, the 
more important and valuable they appeared. They have become the sources from which we 
must draw almost all the historic material of New York and Canada, during the first cen- 
tury and a half of their exploration by Europeans. It was to perpetuate these monuments of 
the early history of Canada, that Parliament ordered their publication in this form.”— Fie/d.

The six works next following, form a series of Answers &c. to ‘* Taxation no Tyranny. ” 
They are uniformly bound, and each numbered at the bottom of the back, in the order of 
their publication. 

“‘ This tract claims its importance from the celebrity of its author. It was written in the 
sixty-sixth year of his age, when he was at the meridian of his fame. Mr. Bancroft in his 
seventh volume describes it at length as an exemplification of the tone of public sentiment 
then prevailing in England. It called forth several replies, each of which is aimed at point- 
ing out the fallacy that lurks in its title as well as in all its reasonings.” — 7. R. Bartlett.

‘Perhaps no two pamphlets did more good to the American cause than Dr. Johnson’s 
‘Taxation no Tyranny,’ and Mr. Wesley’s ‘Calm Address,’ both intended to have quite a 
contrary effect from that which was produced by them. This arose from the numerous and 
able answers which were immediately circulated by lovers of truth, and enemies to oppression, 
in which the specious arguments of the ministerial hirelings were at once confuted and 
shown in their true light.”— Rich.

The object of the author seems to be to defend the ‘* Quebec Bill,” which protects the 
Canadians in the exercise of the Roman Catholic religion. The American Colonies classed 
this Bill among their grievances. The author of the tract in question shows that many of 
the colonies extended the same rights to Roman Catholics that the Quebec Bill did to the 
Canadians. :

This book was printed at Philadelphia, in 1692, by William Bradford, for which he was 
imprisoned, upon the charge of ‘uttering and spreading a malicious and seditious paper.” 
His tools and type were taken away from him, and this was the beginning of the persecution 
which afterwards drove him, with his printing, from Philadelphia to New York, in 1693. 
For an account of his arrest and committal to prison, evidently written by himself, see the 
Postscript at the end of this tract.

RARITY. 


In a note to the on/y copy of this book which has ever been sold in New York (in 1845) 
it is claimed that this is the rirsT BOOK PRINTED IN New York. In the following note, its 
present owner has, we think, settled the question in favour of Philadelphia. 

Doubts have been entertained whether this volume was really printed at Philadelphia, on 
the ground that the printer having suffered imprisonment for printing and publishing * An 
Appeal” would not likely have ventured to issue a work of this character there and thereby 
subject himself to a probable recurrence of farther difficulty with the Authorities. It has 
been surmised that the tract might have been printed at New York, but in that case Brad- 
ford could have had no possible reason for withholding his name from the title page. On 
the other hand, our printer, having been discharged from arrest and had his press restored to 
him by Gov. Fletcher on the sole ground of his having been imprisoned for “a religious 
difference,” could not have had any misgivings whatever respecting the publication of a bare 
recital of the trial and its attendant circumstances, with its present imprint. Nor was 
one of his resolute character, smarting under what he conceived to be an outrage and a 
‘wrong, likely to suspend its publication during the five months which elapsed between the 
termination of his trial, and his settlement at New York. 

It is a tract of the greatest possible rarity; of much historical interest in connexion with 
the earliest efforts to establish the press in the middle colonies; and gives a very curious and

This rare tract is wholly occupied by Keith’s account of his public recantation from, and 
denouncement of Quakerism, under the patronage, and protection of the Rev. Evan Evans, 
the then Minister of Christ Church, and Rector of Philadelphia. The proceedings became 
so turbulent, that Keith and his newly acquired friends, were turned out of the Meeting-house 
in which they assembled, into the street ; while the Quaker mayor, William Shippen, fear- 
ing a breach of the peace, sent “the constable ” also a quaker, ‘* with his constables staff” to 
disperse them, which he did; an act that caused much animadversion at the time.

“‘No unimportant man has caused more fear, speculation, and gold-digging, than Captain 
Kidd. Along the shores of New England and Long Island, from his day to this, men have 
dug in the dead of night, directed, as they thought, by the awitch hazel or the divining-rod, 
to find his buried gold, and none bane found it. ‘The Pirate Kidd’ was long a bugbear to 
frighten children, and a name to arouse the cupidity of men.”— C. W. Elliott’s New-Eng- 
land History.

Of the three hundred and fifty (more or less) orations on the death of Washington, this

sufficiently indicates.

of Jefferson could not bear such an expose and therefore it was doomed to destruction.

This is a series of EIGHT of these ExcrEpDINGLY Rare productions of BRApFoRD’s PRESS, 
embracing the years 1731. 32. °33. °37. 38. 39. 42. and 1743., uniform in size and bind- 
ing, and in the finest condition. A remarkable instance of the well known thrifty habit of 
the printer occurs in that for the year 1738 3 a portion thereof being printed upon paper one 
side of which having previously been used, the printed sides were pasted face to face, and 
the sheets of the Almanack printed on the blanks. ‘These have been carefully separated by 
Mr. Bedford, and exhibit a curious example of printing-house economy. In that for 1739, 
in May, is found the often quoted entry, “‘the printer born the 20th, 1663.” which, not- 
withstanding the inscription (1660) upon his tomb-stone, is now generally admitted to have 
been the date of his birth. It would be very difficult, if indeed it were possible, to obtain 
a MORE DESIRABLE, FINER, OF MORE INTERESTING SPECIMEN Of Braprorp’s press than these 
HANDSOME LITTLE VOLUMES present.

“‘ This very curious collection of poetical hagiologies is selected from the well-known 
Auchinleck ms. supposed to have been written in some North of England Monastery about 
the latter end of the x1ith or commencement of the x1vth century. It contains the following 
legends : — Pope Gregory; St. Margaret; St. Katherine; Mary Magdalen; Joachim and 
Anne; and Our Lady’s Mother. Only 40 copies were printed, under the editorial care of W. 
Turnbull, Esq. 

This is the book the extraordinary preface to which has been so often quoted in reference 
to the case of Mr. Turnbull, both in the House of Lords and Commons. The dedication 
is To the ‘memory of Peter Ribadeneira of the Society of Jesus.’ In his remarks on the 
state of the ms. the editor says, ‘It has been sadly mutilated by some sacrilegious hand for 
the sake of the illuminations. Would to God that for his pains the Vandal had been served 
after a similar fashion, and been qualified to chant shrill treble within the choir of the 
Sistine chapel.’ ”

It is of the highest interest in connection with the liberty of the press in New England. 
Checkley was, prosecuted at the Inferior Court in Boston, in 1724, for publishing and 
selling this book, which was called, ‘¢a false and scandalous libel, tending to draw into dis- 
pute his present Majesty’s title to the Crown, scandalizing the ministers of the gospel, es- 
tablished by law in this Province; falsifying the Holy Scriptures, representing the Church 
of Rome as the present Mother Church; and tending to raise divisions, jealousies and ani- 
mosities among his Majesty’s loving subjects of this Province.” He was convicted but 
appealed to the Superior Court, where, after a long speech in his own defence, the jury 
brought in a verdict against him. The Court sentenced him to pay a fine of £50 to the 
King, and to give two sureties in the sum of £100 for his good behavior for six months.

LINGARD. 


These volumes, the most elegant of their class, merit a passing notice. They are not 
mere reprints of the rare and valuable works whose titles they bear, as each work has a co- 
pious introduction, and is profusely annotated by an eminent New England scholar. The 
series is complete so far as published ; one volume of an intended Virginia series is included, 
that being the only one issued when the work was stopped. 

Their Titles are briefly as follows :

Notes by Henry Martyn Dexter. Boston: ‘fobn Kimball Wiggin. m pecc Lxv.

Each article of the Declaration of Independence is carefully examined and every assertion 
disputed. In a short “review” at the end of the volume, the author thus expresses him- 
self, ‘¢The opinions of the modern Americans on Government, like those of their good 
ancestors on witchcraft, would be too ridiculous to deserve any notice, if like them, too 
contemptible and extravagant as they be, they had not led to the most serious consequences.”

“This inestimable book, a treasure of all the learning respecting the East and West-Indies 
and the navigation thither, at the end of the sixteenth century, has been in the highest 
esteem for nearly a century, and was given to each ship sailing to India, as a log-book. 
Hence the many editions (6 in Dutch, 3 in French, and 1 in Latin), which is also the cause 
why fine copies, especially with a// the plates and maps, are so very rare. A large part of 
the book is occupied by translations of original Spanish and Portuguese documents on geogra- 
phy, ethnography, statistics, navigation, etc., and in these respects it is of the highest im- 
portance and authority. The description of America occupies pages 17 to 82 of the third 
part.”— F, Muller.

It is a mistake to suppose that this excellent book is superseded by that recently published 
in two small volumes, as the latter omits several passages in the text, and contains merely a 
selection from Chalmers’s most valuable and interesting notes. The author was Lion King-at- 
Arms under James V. The estimate in which he is held at the present day, after the iapse 
of nearly three centuries have fallen on his unknown grave, may be given in the following 
lines of Scott :— 

“ Still is thy name of high account, 
And still thy verse has charms —

Numerous incidents relating to the savages of these nations, and their sanguinary attacks 
upon the frontiers, with sketches of their chiefs, and of the loyalist refugees who led them, 
are narrated. ‘These were derived in many instances directly from the lips of some of the

As early as 1824, the practice was begun of taking portraits of the principal Indians who 
came to Washington, and depositing them in the War Department. Under the manage- 
ment of Col. M’Kinney, Superintendent of Indian Affairs, the number rapidly increased, till 
a very interesting gallery was formed. They were chiefly painted by Mr. King, an artist of 
high repute, who has been remarkably successful in transferring to his canvas the strong 
lineaments of the Indian countenance. Col. M’Kinney conceived the plan of making this 
rare and curious collection more valuable to the world by publishing a series of engraved por- 
traits exactly copied and colored from these paintings. With each portrait is connected a 
biographical sketch of the individual whom it is intended to represent, interspersed with 
anecdotes and narrations. ‘The work contains also a historical account of the various Indian 
tribes within the borders of the United States.

‘¢ Martyr possessed eminent ability and learning, and is believed to be the first writer who 
noticed in his works the discovery of America by his countryman Columbus; as he is the 
first who published a treatise descriptive of the peculiarities of the natives of the New World, 
the first decade having been printed in 1504, and the first three decades in 1516. It was 
not until 1530, that the complete work in eight decades was printed. Eden translated the 
first edition of three decades, and printed it with some matters copied from Oviedo and other 
authors, in 1555. Willes followed his example, and produced the three decades with part 
of the fourth, and some additional material drawn from several historians. The first com-

Major Mason was one of the first settlers of Dorchester, in 1630. From that place he 
removed about the year 1635 and assisted in laying the foundation of a new colony. After 
the Pequot War, in which he took a prominent part, he was appointed by the Governor of 
Connecticut, Major-General of all their forces, which office he continued to hold till his 
death. He was elected Deputy-Governor of the Colony in 1660, which place he held for 
ten years. He died at Norwich in 1672 or 1673, at the age of 72.

This GRAND LARGE PAPER COPY, measuring 143 inches by 9} inches on the

RARITY upon LarcE PAPER. 

“To those who are interested in the early history of our country, it may be well to re- 
mark, that for accuracy in historical occurrences they will do well to rely upon other au-

will probably nowhere find so many materials for this purpose, as in the work of this pe-

‘In this singular publication, which is a close translation of the Hebrew, Dr, Mather has 
not only disregarded the modern practice of breaking the lines, whether rhymed or not, but 
he has run out (to use a printer’s phrase) the whole matter; so that while each psalm looks 
exactly like prose, and may be read as such, it is, in fact, modulated so that it may be sung 
as lyric verse. ; 

The learned Doctor says that in the ‘ twice seven versions’ which he has seen, the au- 4 

' thors ‘put in as large an Heap of poor Things, which, are intirely their own, — meerly for 
the sake of preserving the Clink of the Rhime ; Which after all is of small consequence unto 
a Generous Poem; and of none at all unto the Melody of Singing.” 

The following extract from the xxiii. Psalm is a specimen of the translation and arrange- 
ment. By omitting the words in Brack Lerrer the verse is adapted to short metre. 
‘The Director of the Psalmody, need only say. Sing with the %lack Detter, or sing with- 
out the lack Better, and the tune will be sufficiently directed. 

1. My Shepherd is th’ Erzrnat God :||I shall not be in [any] want: || 

2 In pastures of tender grass || He [ever] makes me lie down: || To waters of tranquilli- 
ties || He gently carries me, [ along. | 

3. My feeble and my wandring Soul || He [Kindly] does fetch back again ; || In the plain 
paths of righteousness || He does lead [and guide] me along, || because of the regard He has — 
[ever] unto His Glorious Name. ||’ — . R. Bartlett.

‘Hereby hangs a funny tale. About the year 1714, Cotton Mather in Boston was 
dubbed with F.r.s., a trinity of capitals which flattering his vanity he adopted and wore, 
though somewhat against his previous teachings in regard to worldly distinctions. The first 
of his 383 books that came out after the receipt of this polished handle bore F.r.s. after his 
name, much to the astonishment of his rivals, and amusement of his fellow citizens. He 
immediately wrote to the Secretary of the Royal Society thanking him, and continued through 
life to be an active correspondent, all but the first letter being still preserved by the Society. 
The letter of thanks, however, for some reason never got among the records, but eventually 
fell among autograph-mongers, and found its way to New York. Some, in the Doctor’s 
lifetime, said he had been hoaxed, and never was really elected, while others, and among 
them his son, manfully contended that he was really one of the Philosophers. This book 
was written during the controversy to show that he was both competent and willing to be 
an F.R.s. To this day the question is not settled — Was Cotton Mather an r.r.s.? There 
is nothing in the Society’s records to show it, though the names of a dozen other Americans 
are recorded. ” — Stevens.

“‘The very curious history of this memoir deserves attention from all students of Ameri- 
can history. At the surrender of Fort Necessity by Washington, his Journal of the Expe- 
dition, together with the letters of Braddock to the British Ministry, and his instructions to 
Washington, were seized by the French victors. They were immediately transmitted 
to France, and by order of the French king, printed and sent to every court of Europe, 
as indicating the aggressive character of the British. From evidence drawn from these docu-

ments, they charge Washington with the murder of Jumonville. This was the second 
publication of any of Washington’s writings, and the first notice the public had of his 
Journal. It was translated and printed in New York, in 1757, under the title of 4 Memorial, 
etc., and the same year in Dublin under the title of Review of Military Operations in N. A., 
and Fournal of Major Washington. It is very clear from the French relation that Jumon- 
ville was approaching Washington on an embassy of peace, but that Washington, unwilling 
to trust him, had ordered his advance to be fired upon.”— Fie/d.

In the preface to those ‘¢ Minutes,” it is stated that they were “ discovered (on the late 
capture of New York by the British troops) among the papers of a person who appears to 
have been Secretary to the Committee.” They relate to a conspiracy against Congress, and 
particularly against Washington, whom the conspirators proposed to carry off. 


“A Mr. Matthews,” says the Monthly Review, “who was prominent in the conspiracy, 
was condemned to suffer death, but Congress resolved to postpone the execution of the sen- 
tence, and ordered him to be carried into Connecticut, there to be imprisoned till further 
orders.” 

The work contains some curious scandal about Washington, and Mary Gibbons, “a girl 
from New Jersey, of whom General Washington was very fond, and whom he maintained

These letters, purporting to have been written by so distinguished a man as the Governor 
General of Canada, the last of them but a few days before the fall of Quebec and the death 
of both Generals Montcalm and Wolfe, have attracted great interest, while their genuine- 
ness has been suspected. But ‘it has been reserved,” says Mr. Henry Stevens in an ex-

almost to a demonstration that the Montcalm letters are forgeries.”

The first edition of this work was printed in small 4to, at Cambridge, N. E., in 1669. 
Of this second edition, as above, there would seem to have been another issue, with a 
different title, in the same year. : 

“ Morton’s Memorial is a work of high authority and is confined chiefly to Plymouth 
Colony. It was compiled principally from manuscripts of his uncle William Bradford, and 
comprises the period between 1620 and 1646. The journals of Edward Winslow also fur- 
nished materials for the work.” — FY. R. Bartlett.

him that, *‘ he fell into great licentiousness, and became the lord of misrule;” he supplied 
the Indians with arms, that they might hunt for him, and was by this means, perhaps, an 
instrument in endangering the safety of the colonists. On the occasion of giving to Pason- 
agessit the name of Maremont, under his auspices, a pine-tree eighty feet in height, with 
buck’s horns at the top, was planted in the ground, around which the company danced with 
such hilarity, as the good cheer they had not failed to provide inspired; much to the dis- 
satisfaction of the stricter colonists, by whom he was for this offence sent out of the colony 
as a prisoner. Mr. Duyckinck remarks, that although the book professes to have been 
printed at Amsterdam, it was probably executed in London. Morton returned to the colo- 
nies after its appearance, and was imprisoned in Boston for a year, ostensibly on account of 
the libel it promulgated against the colonies,

“Tn this purple book the ‘nephew of my uncle’ defends and upholds negro slavery in 
America, though perhaps, were it brought nearer home to his own business and bosom, like 
many other philosophers, he would have sung a different tune. Lest these sentiments, so 
‘repugnant to British feeling, might give to the book a baleful influence, a neutralizing ap- 
pendage by another hand is added, combating the Prince’s facts, inferences and opinions.””—

Thomas Prince thus speaks of this work: “In 1720 came out Mr. Neal’s History of 
New England, which I was glad to see, and pleased with both his spirit, style and method. 
And though be has fallen into many mistakes which are commonly known to us, some of 
which he seems to derive from Mr. Oldmixon’s New England; ... yet considering the ma- 
terials this worthy writer was confined to, and that- he was never here; it seems to me 
scarce possible, that any under his disadvantages should form a better. In comparing him 
with the authors from whence he draws, I am surprised to see the pains he has taken to put 
the materials in such a regular order: And to me it seems as if many parts of his work can- 
not be mended.” — Chronology of New England. Pref. p. tit.

“ The preparation of this splendid work by the ablest scientific men of the country has 
cost the State (of New York) more than 200,000 dollars, and is a brilliant example of en- 
lightened legislative liberality. As a work embracing every department of Natural History, 
it must find a place in the library of all scientific men, as well as of all persons of taste and 
refinement.”

Principles with Great Britain, would be exalted Policy; and that, 
circumstanced as we are, Permanent Liberty, and True Happiness, 
can only be obtained by Reconciliation with that Kingdom. Written

Plain Truth “is written with such outrageous zeal, and contains so many scurrilous re- 
flections against the author of ‘Common Sense’ and the supposed favorers of independency, 
that we may safely conclude, from its having been printed in Philadelphia, that the congress 
either do not aim at a separation from this country, or that their government is not of the 
tyrannical nature which some have chosen to represent it."—M.R. tiv. 502. Dr. Parr 
says that this tract produced a wonderful effect throughout America and England.

Mr. Paine was no admirer of Washington and thus addresses him: “ Elevated to the 
chair of the Presidency, you assumed the merit of everything to yourself; and the natural 
ingratitude of your constitution began to appear. You commenced your presidential career 
by encouraging and swallowing the grossest adulation ; and you travelled America from one 
end to the other to put yourself in the way of receiving it. You have as many addresses in 
your chest as James the Second. As to what were your views, for you are not great enough 
to have ambition, though you are little enough to have vanity, they cannot be inferred from 
expressions of your own; but the partizans of your politics have divulged the secret.” He 
also attacks the military skill of Washington.

These volumes contain nearly forty contemporaneous publications, issued between the 
years 1788 and 1820, and directly relating to Thomas Paine, his conduct, character and 
writings. Many of them are rare, all are curious and interesting, and they throw much 
light upon the status and habits of that extraordinary man, and the degree of estimation in 
which he was held by his contemporaries. It would be difficult, even if it were possible, to 
make a similar assemblage now, at almost any cost. The pamphlets are severally in the

I was reluctant to go back to old style printing, but the patron of this work, Hon. J. V. 
L. Pruyn, at whose expense it was issued, induced me to import the types from Caslon of 
London, the American founders being then deficient of an assortment, and workmen being 
unacquainted with the peculiarities of the style of work, I set up all the types with my own 
hands. It was the forerunner of what I termed my “ Historical Series.” — Maunsell.

“The charm which Mr. Parkman’s books assert on the attention of every reader, is not 
wholly derived from the pleasing style of his writing. His perfect knowledge of Indian life 
and manners, acquired by personal experience, and his exhaustion of the literature of his 
subject, as it is found in printed works, unedited manuscripts, and authenticated tradition, 
give new interest to the subjects of which he treats.”— Fie/d.

“The narrative of Pattie’s expedition and captivity has more than the ordinary interest

ica on a route which his party were the first to pursue. He encountered tribes of Indians 
who then saw a white man for the first time, and his narrative has the merit of being given

This very interesting collection, relating, as it does, entirely to a single important histo- 
rical object, and forming a galaxy of the autographs of the most illustrious of the great and 
good men of the period of the Revolution, possesses a value far beyond that of a mere col- 
lection of autograph letters, inasmuch as many of the writers minutely describe the counte- 
nance, features, person and character of Washington; the circumstances under which they 
met him; some in the field; others under the hospitable roof of Mount Vernon; and relate 
interesting reminiscences of the events which brought them into his presence, The volume 
was arranged by the eminent artist himself, and accompanied him during his lecturing tours 
throughout the United States. It consequently exhibits some exterior evidence of use, al- 
though in most excellent preservation,

“¢ This journal is the sequel to that printed by Charles Thompson, Secretary to the Con- 
tinental Congress, in his Enguiry into the Causes of the Alienation of the Delaware and Shaw- 
anese Tribe of Indians. It exhibits in a still stronger light the intrepidity and self-devotion 
of this noble Quaker; Since the days of Regulus no more perilous mission has been under- 
taken by a single man. Braddock had been defeated, and eight hundred white soldiers 
slain. Forbes was preparing for his invasion of the Indian territory. Pitiless massacre 
reigned on both sides. Rewards that would have tempted all the fierce borderers a year 
before, were offered in vain, until Christian Post, rejecting all offers of compensation, and 
solely for peace and mercy’s sake, set out upon his mission. Every step through the 
wilderness, the most appalling dangers thickened around him. A hundred times were 
savage arms raised to destroy him, and a hundred times by little less than miracles, the 
blows were averted.” — Fie/d.

The various editions of this excellent work are a good index of the progress of knowledge 
in England of the affairs of the Colonies. Gov. Pownall’s experience in America, and his 
position after his return, enabled him to speak with authority.

genhausen. Enriched with numerous valuable manuscript notes, additions, and corrections,

A republication of Evans’s map and analysis of 1755, with improvements and additions. 
Governor Pownall says that “a pirated copy of Evans’s map, was in a most audacious man- 
ner, published by Jeffreys, and falsely sold as Evans’s map improved, by which that very 
laborious and ingenious, but poor man, was deprived of the benefit of his work. Owing to 
the ignorance of the engraver it can scarcely be called a copy, and, as respects the face of 
the country, might as well be a map of the moon.”

A presentation set to Baron Albenslabor, the manuscript inscription to whom, occupies 
nearly an entire page. The ‘‘ Memorial to the Sovereigns of Europe,” which was published 
anonymously, in this copy has Mr. Pownall’s autograph signature at the end of the text. 

The Memorial to the Sovereigns of Europe which presupposes the independence of America, 
the editor says ‘‘ was written by a gentleman lately deceased, who, from some misfor- 
tune in his personal relations, left England and took up his residence in the Azores.” “It 
is written,” says the Monthly Review, ‘‘ withso much clearness of information and strength 
of argument, that it is probably the work of some eminent master, who chooses to conceal 
himself behind a peculiar style and a fictitious tale.”

‘In the reproduction of this quaint volume every word, every Jetter, and indeed every

Cambridge in the year 1640, Indeed, so exact and faithful has the compositor been in fol- 
lowing the original copy, that the bad spacing, omission of spaces, irregular justification, bad 
divisions, broken type, letters inverted, mixed lower-case letters with italics, and typographi- 
cal errors are strictly reproductions of the printer’s errors of the olden time.” — Preface.

Concerning the ‘‘ Thoughts,” Mr. Stevens remarks, ‘this is a well written and fair 
statement of the case as to whether or not the Americans were aiming at Independence from 
1754, and how the difficulty may now be settled without a separation. Dr. Franklin’s 
celebrated letters to Gov. Shirley, afterwards in 1766 printed in London, are given in the

criticised and pronounced fictitious at page 41.”

Original Map of Virginia, and measuring 12% inches by 83 inches on the leaf; collating 
with Lowndes, and perfect and complete, except, that the map of Nova Scotia is wanting. 
It is by far the most desirable copy we have ever met with, being absolutely free from any 
taint whatever of the mildew which disfigures and endangers very many copies, and is per- 
fectly CLEAN, FRESH, and crispthroughout. A copy was lately priced in an English catalogue 
at L100. 

Purchas says in his Preface that he has incorporated the substance of more than twelve 
hundred writers of Voyages and Travels. ‘* His work,” says Granger, in his Biogr. Hist. 
‘¢is not only valuable for the various instruction and amusement contained in it, but is also 
very estimable on a national, and I may add, a religious account.” 

“© We owe to the zeal and vast erudition of this laborious man, one of the most celebrated 
collections of Voyages which has ever appeared, valuable alike for the abundance of its 
materials and its importance in the history of Early Discoveries, especially those of the Eng- 

_lish.”"— Biograpbie Universelle.

“One peculiarly unlucky circumstance attending our American disputes may be added to 
the rest, namely, that our fellow-subjects there are as well read in the nature and grounds 
of civil and religious liberty as ourselves ; and this shrewd commentary on the Boston Port 
Bill will incline us to entertain a respectable opinion of their law pleaders.”— Monthly Re-

These OrtcinaL Epitions are two of the rarest pieces in Pennsylvania literature. The 
occasion of the dispute was the assertion, by Gen. Cadwallader, that in Dec., 1776, before 
the battle of Trenton, Gen. Reed was so much depressed by the sad state of American affairs 
as to meditate withdrawing from the service. This assertion Gen. Reed denies, and Gen. 
Cadwallader defends, in very heated and bitter language. The dispute was revived on the 
publication of the ninth volume of Mr. Bancroft’s history.

Narrative of the Principal Events of the Siege. 1763-65. | 


Sm. 4t0, 213 pages. Original binding, in a morocco pull-off case, lettered. IN FINE CONDITION, 
and PERFECT PRESERVATION. 


From this Precious Historical Manuscript written by the hand of the redoubtable Major 
himself, the Fourth Volume of ‘* Munsetx’s HistoricaL Series” was prepared under the 
editorial care of Dr. Hough, who thus describes it. ‘‘ The Diary printed in the following 
Pages, we believe to be now for the first time published, and although its Author is unknown, 
we have Reason to infer from several Allusions to himself, and References to other Records 
kept along with it, that he was the Secretary of the Commandant, and that he was fully in 
his Confidence, ‘The Manuscript is all in one Hand-writing, and is written upon about half 
a dozen Sizes of Paper, which were evidently in loose Sheets at the Time, and have since 
been bound in one Volume. It was purchased from a Book-seller in London, and its former 
Owner had begun to print it; but finding, after getting through thirty-two pages, that the 
Sheets had not been bound in Chronological order, the Enterprize was abandoned, until it 
cameinto the Hands of the Publisher of the present Series. It bears conclusive Evidence of 
Authenticity, and is believed to offer new and valuable Contributions to our Knowledge of 
the Events to which it relates.” The thirty-two pages alluded to as having been printed by 
a former owner accompany the Manuscript. 

The Journals of Major Rogers published in 1765, terminate with February, 1761, and 
contain no allusion to the events recorded in this manuscript. There is, therefore, but little 
doubt that it was designed, that this diary should form a portion, if not the whole, of the 
Continuation to which Major Rogers alludes in the Advertisement at the end of his Journals 
above referred to. 


1716 Rocers. Journals of Major Robert Rogers: Containing An 
Account of the several Excursions he made under the Generals who 
commanded upon the Continent of North America, during the Late 
War. From which may by (sic) collected The most material Cir- 
cumstances of every Campaign upon that Continent, from the Com- 
mencement to the Conclusion of the War.

“ The journals of this celebrated partisan chief afford us many interesting details of border 
warfare, in the French and Indian War, which ended seventeen years before the Revolution. 
It was while associated with Rogers that General Putnam is said to have experienced those 
wonderful adventures, with the relation of which our youthful nerves have so often thrilled. 
It is however remarkable, that Major Rogers does not even mention the name of Putnam. 
The last page (237), is unnumbered and entitled, ‘ Advertisement.’ It announces a con- 
tinuation, or second part of the journal, which never appeared, as the subscriptions of a 
guinea a copy were probably not sufficiently numerous.” — Fie/d,

‘¢ This historical essay by the famous partisan officer and Indian fighter, although by no 
means equal to his Journal in interest, is not without merit. In the ‘ Concise Account’ of 
the several colonies, he mingles many particulars of the Indian nations, but its especial in- 
terest is to be found in the section of this volume devoted to the ‘ Customs, Manners, and 
Government of the Indians,’ pp. 205 to 264. These relations are the result of his own 
personal experience among the savages.” — Fie/d.

New-York : | Printed for the Author, M,DCC,LXXV. 


8v0, pp. 4, Viti, 342, (2), lexxix., (3). 1 folded sheet, and 10 engravings; including 
the frontispiece, the dedication to fobn Ellis, and 3 full page maps. Crushed blue levant mo- 
rocco, edges gilt on carmine, by F. Beprorpv. A LARGE, FINE and PERFECT COPY 
of this EXCESSIVELY RARE BOOK, with many rough leaves. 


This extremely rare work is so seldom found in any other than a fragmentary condition, 
that we are unable to refer to the full collation of any complete copy. No copy has ever 
been found with either of the whole sheet Maps, and all are more or less deficient in the 
number of Plates referred to in the title page. From the arrangement and tenor of the title, 
as well as from the sense of the ** advertisement,” at the end of the volume, we are clearly 
of opinion, that it was the author’s design to distribute the ‘‘twelve copper plates, And 
Two whole Sheet Maps” throughout the two volumes into which he intended to divide the 
work ; hence we do not hesitate to pronounce the present a perfect copy as well as the finest 
one within our knowledge. 

The work was issued in the following year with an abridged title, less preliminary matter, 
and without the Appendix, but the text in the body of the work is the same in both edi- 
tions. In the ‘ Advertisement,” above referred to, the author announces his intention to 














_ issue a second volume, to be accompanied by maps, adding, that ‘‘ it is now in the press.” 


It does not appear, however, that it ever was published. The plates are curious specimens 
of early Continental engraving; they were drawn and etched by Romans himself, who 
throughout the book uses a small i for the personal pronoun. 

‘© This rare book contains an engraved dedication to Ellis the Naturalist, and six other 
plates etched by the author. Ariother copy with the date 1775, and called Volume 1., has 
an appendix of 89 pages and 3 Maps.”— Rich, 1. 467.

Apparently privately printed. ‘In July last the following letter was transmitted to the 
person to whom it is addressed, and a few weeks ago it was returned under cover, without a 
syllable in reply. As children that are crammed with confectionary, have no relish for 
plain and wholesome food ; so men in power, who are seldom addressed but in the sweet 
tones of adulation, are apt to be disgusted with the plain and salutary language of truth. To 
offend was not the intention of the writer; yet the president has evidently been irritated ; 
this however is not a bad symptom, for irritation causelessly excited, will frequently subside 
into shame, and to use the language of the moralist ‘ where there is yet shame, there may 
in time be virtue.’ Liverpool, February 20th, 1797.”— Extract.

“No one who has visited Venice can read this book without having a richer glow thrown 
over his remembrances of that city ; and for those who have not, Mr. Ruskin paints it with 
a firmness of outline and vividness of colouring that will bring it before the imagination with 
the force of reality. His descriptions are the perfection of word-painting, and there is this 
additional charm in them, that the intellect and heart are sure to be gratified by profound 
thoughts and noble sentiments.” — Literary Gazette,

almost unattainable, as several of the volumes have long been out of print. The present one

“’To Mr. Ruskin art has a deep moral and religious significance, both in its uses and in 
its connection with the character and condition of the artist. Every touch is, for him, the 
thought of a human intellect and the voice of a human heart. He seems to kiss the very 
footsteps of that art of which he is the great expositor.”— London Times.

Mr. Field remarks : “ the mystery which surrounded the authorship, history, and origin of 
this very rare volume, has been slowly dispelled by successive fragments of information. So 
few copies have survived the holocaust to which it was devoted, that its very existence was 
unknown to the most zealous collectors of Indian and Vermont history. Published anony- 
mously, without preface, it was known to but few that the author was the Rev. Daniel 
Clark Sanders, President of the University of Vermont. Immediately after its appearance, 
some person, evidently a personal enemy of the author, published an acrimonious critique upon 
the book, in the Liberal and Philosophical Repository. -The animus of the critic was evi- 
denced, not only by the bitterness of his language, but by his ignorance of the subject of 
Indian wars, being more profound than that of the author of the book hescored. Such was 
the effect of the article upon either Mr. Sanders, or the publishers, that the work was 
suppressed. But very few copies could have escaped the hands that were now as zealous to 
destroy, as they had lately been to create. In fact, so nearly complete was the destruction 
of the book, that it was forgotten by those who professed to know most of its author, his 
biographers. Neither Thompson, Williams, nor Hemmenway, who published memoirs of 
Sanders mention his authorship of the Indian wars.”

“Tt is well known that, during our Revolutionary War, a very large part, if not an 
actual majority, of the American people remained more or less attached to the cause of the 
Crown. And considering how much of the education and intelligence of the community 
was included in their ranks, it will not be surprising to find that the Loyalists of that day 
were far from remiss in their efforts to vindicate their own conduct, or to attack that of their 
opponents. But as from the outset, with very rare exceptions, the press over all the conti- 
nent was in the hands of the Whigs, they were thus shut out for the time from the popular 
ear; and since the close of the struggle, their literary productions have sunk into oblivion. 
Nevertheless, much of the Loyalist poetry of that season possesses a degree of vigor and of 
real merit worthy of a better cause and a better fate; and Mr. Sargent has rendered an ac- 
ceptable service in rescuing it from neglect.”

“ This great work is acomplete Thesaurus —an overflowing treasury of knowledge, respect- 
ing the Aborigines of America. It embraces their history, ethnography, antiquities, and 
languages ; their ancient and modern geography; their manners and customs, religion and 
superstitions; their agriculture, commerce, and trade; their ornamental arts, and their phy- 
sical and intellectual peculiarities. All these subjects are treated, not in a general and 
summary manner, but in detail, each topic being patiently and thoroughly discussed and 
exhausted ; the work, although mainly executed by the author’s own hand, having received 
the contributions of many savans thoroughly conversant with particular subjects embraced 
in its pages. The result is such a work as could have been produced in no other way. It 
is the most complete and thorough collection of treatises relating to the Indians, and com- 
prises also the only general history of the aboriginal race, which has ever been published. 
It is a Library of Indian history and ethnography, and embraces within itself the substance 
of all that is known concerning the tribes as tribes, and the race as a race. To the scholar, 
the historian, the statesman, and the philologist, such a work is indispensable. No public 
or well appointed private library can be considered complete without it; and the general 
reader who wishes for satisfactory and reliable information about the Indians as they are at 
the present time, or as they have been at any previous period since America was discovered, 
must have recourse to these volumes. ‘The illustrations of the Archives are executed in the 
most complete and finished style, literally ‘ without regard to expense ;? and, as a whole, 
they comprise one of the proudest monuments of American art.”

This very valuable catalogue was compiled by the late Mr. Cochrane, of the London

Walter Scott, where he refers to, or quotes, the various books in the library. 

‘The nature and extent of the collection throw light in a remarkable manner on the 
history of its founder. The reader has before him a faithful inventory of the materials with 
which the National Poet and Novelist had stored his mind before he began his public career, 


» of the zeal with which he watched the progress of literary enterprise down to the close 
of his life.”

‘‘ This well written narrative, purporting to be only the biography of a captive among the 
Senecas, is really the best resumé we have of incidents in the history and common life of the 
Seneca Indians. Its truthfulness is vouched for by such veracious testimony as that of Eli 
Parker, an educated chief of that nation, though its authenticity can scarcely have greater 
corroboration than the fact that Mr. Seaver received almost the whole mass of incidents 
narrated in his book, directly from the lips of the aged captive herself. A portion of the 
book which future ethnologists will highly prize, is contained on pp. 300 to 312, where the 
Indian names of nearly 400 localities, in the State of New York, are given, with their 
English significations.”— Fie/d.

This series, the editions of which were originally limited to 150 copies, owing to the 
fact that many sets and parts of sets have been destroyed, is extremely scarce. Single 
volumes have sold as high as $35. Uncut sets, like the present, are very seldom met with.

Imp. folio, balf red lewant morocco, gilt top, uncuT. Larcr and ELEGANT copy, measuring

An exact reprint of the first folio, with a fine impression of the portrait after Droeshout’s 
engraving. 

“This uncastrated reprint of 1808, is much more coveted than the later attempts at fac- 
simile, arid will fast rise in value. The original, from which it is reprinted, is continually 
increasing in value. Mr. Daniel’s copy produced £716 2s., and the competition, whenever 
a copy occurs, is so strong, that, probably, what our ancestors deemed dear at £100, will be 
regarded as cheap at £1,000 by our successors.”

the SMALLEST COMPLETE EDITION ever issued. Rare. 

This beautiful edition of Shakespeare was published under the patronage of George John, 
Earl Spencer ; and is one of the finest specimens of typography ever produced. It is illus- 
trated with 38 engravings from drawings by Stothard, and is further adorned with charming 
woodcut headings and tail pieces, portrait of the Bard after Droeshout, &c. The text is 
from the best edition of Shakespeare, 15 vols., by Johnson and Stevens; with a Glossary.

This sPpLENDID seT bound from parts as originally issued, without admixture of any kind, 
and with BriLLiANT and PERRECT IMPRESSIONS of the TWELVE HUNDRED ENGRAVINGS On wood, 
contains Five Hunprep anp Tuirty inserted Portraits, SUBJECTS AND Views of the finest 
description; nearly att of which are proors, Inpia PRoors, and INDIA PROOFS BEFORE 
LETTERS ; forming a perfect galaxy of the beautiful in art. The plates from the Harpine 
SErigs are a selection from a complete LARGE PAPER PROOF SET, the Best of which only 
were taken. ‘Those of the ‘¢ Heroines of Shakspere,” are also GENUINE PROOFS, imported 
expressly for use in this set. RuBRriCATED TITLE PAGES were printed specially for the Bio- 
graphy, with a beautifully sncravep INDIA proor VIGNETTE mounted in each. 

These elegant volumes, together with “ Crarxr’s ConcorDANcE,” and Fairnott’s Home,” 
(which follow), all uniformly bound, and ranging in size, form a truly MAGNIFICENT 
and probably UNRIVALLED SET of the works of him “who was not of an age, but for 
all time.” 

“In this Splendid Edition the text is derived from a most laborious and careful collation 
of the early editions, with all that the best and most extensive modern Shaksperian criticism 
has discovered. The notes are copious and thoroughly elucidatory of obscure words and 
phrases, and of the sources of the plays, the historical characters, &c. The engravings are 
mostly from actual things, and are not mere fancy pictures. The biography of Shakspere is 
the best yet written of him, and the studies of the characters of the plays and the accounts 
of the plots are written with feeling as well as with critical acumen.”

“¢ After such conscientious examination of his work as the importance of it demands ; 
after a painful comparison, note by note, and reading by reading, of his edition with those of 
Messrs. Knight, Collier, and Dyce, our opinion of his ability and fitness for his task has 
been heightened and confirmed. Not that we always agree with him ;— but Mr. White 
has generally shown so just a discrimination, that there are few instances where we dissent. 
We have subjected his volumes to a laborious examination, such as few books receive, be- 
cause the text of Shakespeare is a matter of common and great concern, and they have borne 
the trial, except in a few impertinent particulars, admirably. Mr. Dyce and Mr. Singer are 
only dry commonplace-books of illustrative. quotations ; Mr. Collier has not wholly reco- 
vered from his ‘ corr. fo.” madness; Mr. Knight (with many eminent advantages as an 
editor) is too diffuse; and we repeat our honest persuasion, that Mr. White has thus far 
given us the best extant text, while the fullness of his notes gives his edition almost the 
value of a variorum ; and we think that a careful collation justifies us in saying that in acute 
discrimination of zsthetic shades of expression, and often of textual niceties, Mr. White is 
superior to any previous editor.”"— F. R. Lowell.

Majesty’s Commission to cruize on the Spaniards in the late War

Juan Fernandez, in May 1720; and afterwards continu’d in the 
Recovery, the Jesus Maria and Sacra Familia, &c. By Captain

8v0, pp. (12), xwxii., 468. Map and 3 Plates, Paneled calf, red edges. Laroe and 
FINE COPY. 

Two histories were published of this voyage. This was intended by the author as a vin- 
dication of his conduct, he having been accused of piracy and embezzlement. The other 
was written by William Betagh who was roughly treated in Shelvocke’s narrative, and, in 
return, wrote with the design of exposing Shelvocke. 

The author’s relation of the discovery of gold is remarkable. ‘ The soil about Puerto 
Seguro (and very likely in most parts of the valleys), is a rich black mould, which, as you 
turn it up fresh to the sun, appears as if intermingled with gold dust, some of which we en- 
deavoured to wash and purify from the dust; but though we were a little prejudiced against 
the thoughts that it could be possible that this metal should be so promiscuously and univer- 
sally mingled with common earth, yet we endeavoured to cleanse and wash the earth from 
some of it, and the more we did, the more it appeared like gold ; but in order to be further 
satisfied, I brought away some of it which we lost in our confusions in China.”— Pages

The third of the series of books giving an account of the results of the English missions 
among the natives. Small specimens of the Indian language are included. The work also 
includes a long letter from Eliot, the. Apostle of the Indians, who is described as already so 
skilled in the Indian tongue that he preached regularly in it to the natives. It is otherwise 
very interesting, because of the details which go to make up Eliot’s biography, and to shew 
the nature of his work among the Indians and their feelings with regard to him,

** A golden speech unspoken, which illustrates the wisdom, justice, foresight, and elo- 
quence of the good bishop. It will not be unpleasant for Americans to hear his opinion — 
“My Lords, I look upon North America as the only great nursery of freemen now left upon 
the face of the earth.’ ”»

“The writer of this speech declaims with some spirit and plausibility. He maintains that 
there are more people in England unrepresented and yet taxed, than there are inhabitants in 
British America. He also states that asthe Parliament represents the whole body and realm 
of England and dominions of the same, the Americans are also represented therein.”— Rich.

Mohawk Valley, in their conflicts with their savage neighbors, we do not stop to question 
their authenticity. The midnight massacres, the long and weary captivities, the surprises of

Revolution broke out he adhered to the mother country, and was one of Gen. Clinton’s 
deputies for receiving acknowledgments of allegiance from the colonies. Subsequently he

The authorship of this work has been ascribed to Thomas Hutchins who made the maps, 
and with more propriety to Bouquet himself: the following extract, however, from a letter 
from Dr. Smith, to Sir William Johnson, dated Philadelphia, 13th January, 1776, now in 
the Library of Congress, seems to decide the question. ‘I proposed sending you a copy of 
Boquet’s Expedition to Muskingam, which I drew up from some papers he favored me with, 
and which is reprinted in England, and has had a very favorable reception.”

“The work narrates the details of the first victory, gained over Indian forces by English 
troops, after the savages had been taught the use of fire-arms. Nearly twenty years elapsed 
before the whites gained another, during which period they suffered dreadful defeats in 
thirteen battles at the hands of the Indians. Colonel Bouquet by his judicious arrangements 
first laid down the plan, in following which General Wayne secured the same result.”—

The author, who was a zealous loyalist, lost his property during the war; and his work is 
said to have been written to gain favour with the Government, by abusing the Americans 
and magnifying his own losses. He narrowly escaped hanging by the Whigs on more than 
one occasion, but lived to record many interesting particulars of the first days of the Revo- 
lution, together with many scandalous anecdotes relating to the public men of the time.

This copy contains the two leaves, subsequently printed, giving an account of the sale of 
the edition at Auction, at the upset price of £9. per set, ‘¢a result” says Mr. Sotheby, “ un- 
paralleled in the annals of literature.” 

One of the most important works ever produced upon the history of early printing, on 
which it throws great additional light. It contains an extended examination of the various 
editions of the block books (or books printed from wooden blocks), the earliest productions 
of the art, issued in Holland, Flanders, and Germany, such as the Apocalypsis S. Johannis, 
Biblia Pauperum, Ars Moriendi, Cantica Canticorum, Liber Regum, Temptationes De- 
monum, Ars Memorandi, Endkrist, Quindecim Signa, De Generatione Christi, Miribilia 
Rome, etc. 

It is not, however, confined to a history of block books, for it gives minute ac- 
counts, accompanied by exact fac-similes, of some of the most interesting and rare works 
printed with movable type in the infancy of the art, such as the Donatuses, Doctrinale, 
Catonis Disticha, Horarium, Facetiz Moraies, Speculum Humane Salvationis, Bartolomzus 
van de Proprietaten der Dinghen, Exhortatio contra Turcos, Litera Indulgentiarum, etc. 
An essay upon early paper marks, illustrated by numerous cuts, concludes the work, which 
contains upwards of 120 plates, many of them coloured, and more than 200 engravings on 
wood.

‘¢Soto conquered the native tribes of Indians of Florida in 1539, and this letter, dated July 
gth, 1539, addressed to the Justice and Board of Magistrates of Santiago de Cuba, is the 
official account of the expedition. The Memoir of Hernando de Escalente Fontaneda was 
written in Spain about the year 1575, and is endorsed in Spanish: ‘ Memoir of the things, 
the shore, and the Indians of Florida, to describe which none of the many persons who have 
coasted that country have had sufficient knowledge.’ These translations are followed by 
Notes by Mr. Buckingham Smith, who adds a narrative in paragraphs under the head of 
‘ Espiritu Santo Bay,’ compiled from both Letter and Memoir, in a consecutive form; and 
gives a bibliographical list of books and other original writings that treat of the expedition 
of Soto.” — Triibner.

“Tt is difficult to believe that two individuals were capable of such anastonishing amount of 
labor, as is evidenced in these volumes. ‘The wonderful structures of the race of Indians 
which once inhabited the peninsula of Central America, are here described by pen and 
pencil, with great clearness and minuteness. The temples, structures, idols, utensils, build- 
dings and architecture, of that active, intelligent, and almost mythical people, are illustrated 
by more than seventy large engravings, from drawings by Mr. Catherwood.”—Fie/d.

“One year after the termination of his first explorations, the author set out upon the

peninsula in his first two volumes, these add to our astonishment by portraying the gigantic 
ruins of still more imposing structures, erected by the vanished race of peninsular aborigines.—”

Stephenson was a quaker who came to New England in 1659. He, together with 
William Robinson and Mrs. Mary Dyer, were arrested for preaching in Boston, and 
banished thence under pain of death. Returning, they were again arrested; tried before 
John Endicott, and by him sentenced to death. Stephenson and Robinson suffered the 
penalty ; Mrs. Dyer was reprieved while on the ladder with the halter on her neck. The 
two men were refused the rites of burial, their bodies being stripped and thrown into a hole, 
even the privilege of enclosing their grave being denied to their friends. It is difficult to 
rise from a perusal of this tract without a feeling of intense indignation at the intolerant 
bigotry and cruelty of the early puritans of New England. 





The following is a reprint.

work, 

“ Printed in the best style of the Chiswick Press, regardless of time, it comprises 2934 
Titles given in full, with the collation and price of each work. It was intended as far as it 
went to be a manual for collectors of this expensive class of books. But it did not go very 
far, containing as it does, not a selection, but only such books as the author happened to 
possess at that time. It was intended to supply the deficiencies by additional volumes, but 
these have never appeared, and probably never will in this form.”— Author.

“* For five years ... he had scouted through several States during his vacations, prospecting 
in out of the way places for historical nuggets, mousing through town libraries and country 
garrets in search of anything old that was historically new for Peter Force and his American 
Archives. For himself and others he had tramped over many of the scenes of the Old 
French War and the Revolution, at one time exploring Rogers’ Slide, and at another de- 
scending, torch in’ hand, into the wolf-den of Old Put. From Vermont to Delaware many 
an antiquated churn, sequestered hen-coop, and dilapidated flour barrel had yielded to him 
rich harvests of old papers, musty books and golden pamphlets.” [Author’s Account ot

The valuable original documents from which this history was compiled have recently been 
destroyed by fire. ‘The appendix contains a collection of charters relating to the period com- 
prised in the volume. Besides the copious materials of Stith, the author derived assistance 
from the manuscripts of his uncle, Sir John Randolph, and from the records of the London 
Company, put into his hands by Colonel William Byrd, President of the Council. 

Notwithstanding the recent efforts of American bibliographers, the bibliography of this 
subject remains in as much doubt and obscurity as ever. We briefly remark, that, there 
are two varieties of the first edition, one on coarse, the other on fine paper, except signature 
x which is more or less poor in both. Then we have another Williamsburgh edition of the 
same date, but differing in several particulars. Lastly comes the London edition of 1753, 
which is precisely like the second Williamsburgh issue. It is not at all unlikely that the 
so-called London edition is the second Williamsburgh one with an English title page.

Colonie upon the Island of Roanoak. As also of the Northern Colonie, seated upon the 
River of Sachadehoc, anno 1585.”

on a venture, by the late W. Gowans and an associate, at twenty-five cents per volume in 
the sheets, and an arrangement made with a bookbinder to put the stock into boards, the 
whole of which, with the exception of a copy that Mr. Gowans had retained for himself, 
was returned cut down almost to the head-lines ; an incident to which Mr, Gowans never 
referred without an emphatic expression of indignation. This copy was bound from the sheets 
so reserved, and which, for many years Mr. Gowans refused to exhibit, or to part with, at 
any price. It is clean and fresh as when published, and there is no finer copy extant.

Mr. Field remarks: ** This is the first dissertation in English, on that fertile subject of 
controversy and hypothesis, the origin of the American Indians. The Puritans of New 
England awoke to it with a zeal, untempered by the knowledge that keener intellects and 
higher scholarship, had been stimulated by its attractive mystery a century before. They 
seem to have been unaware that Las Casas, Torquemada, Garcia, and Herrera, Grotius, Horn, 
and De Laet, had wrought the vein until all the metal was exhausted. But a new cycle of 
disputation now commenced, and in 1652, Thorowgood’s treatise was answered by Harmon 
L’Estrange, in a tract entitled Americans no Fews. London, 1652.” Thorowgood made his 
replication in the following work.

“The first work of Thorowgood printed in 1650, was sharply answered by Harmon 
L’Estrange. To recover the ground from which he had been driven, Thorowgood brought 
to his aid the Indian apostle Eliot, and their essays are joined in this replication.” —Fie/d.

7 wols., 8vo, half olive morocco, carmine edges; respectively numbered in the order of their 
publication, at the bottom of the back of each. 
» “ During the Revolutionary War, Dr. Tucker, attracted much attention by his pamphlets, 
in which he asserted the policy of granting independence to the colonies, rather than to 
attempt to subdue them by arms ; and, though he was abused by the friends of the ministry 
his deductions proved proverbially true.”— Blake’s Biog. Dic. 
The Tracts are entitled as follows : 
I. Letter from a Merchant in London to his Nephew in North America, relating to the 
Present Posture of Affairs in the Colonies. ... London: F. Walter. 1766. 
pp. 55. Portrait of the auTuor inserted. 
Maintains the rights of Parliament over the colonies.

of Great Britain set forth in regard to her Colonies; and the only means of living in Peace 
and Harmony with them.” The third tract was first printed in the year 1766. 


III. Tract V. The Respective Pleas and Arguments of the Mother Country, and of the 
Colonies, distinctly set forth; and the Impossibility of a Compromise of Differ- 
ences, or a Mutual Concession of Rights, plainly demonstrated. With a Pre- 
fatory Epistle, to the Plenipotentiaries of the late Congress at Philadelphia Se- 
cond Edition. Glocester: R. Raikes. 1776. 

pp. 60. 

“The contents of this tract are so evidently the effusion of ill temper, that did they not 
proceed from so respectable a character as the Dean of Glocester, we should have imagined 
them solely intended as the vehicle of insinuations against the colonies, unjust in their nature 
and malevolent in their design.” — M. R. 


IV. A Letter to Edmund Burke, Esq.; Member of Parliament for the City of Bristol, and 
agent for the Colony of New York, &c. In answer to his printed Speech, said 
to be spoken in the House of Commons on 22d of March,1775. Second Edi- 
tion, Corrected. Glocester : R. Raikes. 1775. 

pp. 58. 

“ Dr. Tucker here controverts many of Mr, Burke’s arguments, and almost all his conclu- 
sions; and labours to support the expediency of his favorite plan of a separation between 
Great Britain and the colonies in America; and the better to dispose the public to it, he 
represents the colonists themselves as the most unprincipled, worthless, and detestable part 
of mankind.”— M. R. 


V. An Humble Address and Earnest Appeal to those respectable personages in Great-Bri- 
tain and Ireland, who by their great and permanent interest in Landed Property, 
their Liberal Education, Elevated Rank, and Enlarged Views, are the ablest to 

_ Judge, and the fittest to Decide, whether a connection with, or a separation 
from the Continental Colonies of America, be most for the National Advan- 
tage, and the lasting benefit of these Kingdoms. Glocester: R. Raikes. 1775. 


PP: 93- 
In this Tract the Dean counsels the abandonment of the Colonists to themselves, they 
being unworthy of the protection of the mother country, and calls the Monthly Reviewers 
the agents and confederates of Dr. Franklin, ; 


VI. A Series of Answers to certain Popular Objections, against Separating from the Rebel- 
lious Colonies, and Discarding them Entirely: being the Concluding Tract of 
the Dean of Glocester on the Subject of American Affairs. 

Glocester: R. Raikes. 1776. 
pp. «xii., 16-113. 
“In this tract the Dean endeavours, apparently without effect, to prove some former as- 
persions on the character of Dr. Franklin.”— Rich, 


VII. Cui Bono? Or Inquiry, what Benefits can arise either to the English or the Americans, 
the French, Spaniards, or Dutch, from the greatest Victories or Successes in the 
Present War, being a Series of Letters addressed to Monsieur Necker, late 
Comptroller General of the Finances of France. Second Edition, Corrected. 
With a Plan for a General Pacification. Glocester: R. Raikes. 1782. 


PP: 139: 
“¢ A most interesting and curious volume. The Dean says, that no sooner shall the 
Americans have established their independency, than they will be enslaved by their pre- 
sent rulers — the members of Congress — who will govern them with a rod of iron; the 
moment they are at peace with England they will quarrel among themselves, and, with 
the fury of famished wolves, they will endeavor to tear each other in pieces.”

was on trial, whether the people were capable of self-government; and upon its issue de-

Cotration. Title, consisting of a large cut printed on both sides; Lyues and Historyes 
shortly taken out of the Byble, ii. to liili., ending with a Table of the Saints; then folio 
primo to ccclxxxilli; numerous cuts; and the large device of the printer on the final page. 
Size of leaf 7 inches by 11 inches. 

The upper and lower margins of the title, and a portion of the fore margins of signature 
A have been restored by Mr. Lewis. In every other respect the volume is in the finest state 
of preservation. : 

Dibdin and Lowndes, together, refer to but four perfect copies, one of which is in the 
British Museum. There is no copy of this edition, either in the Spencer or in the Gren- 
ville collections. Of the forty-one known copies remaining of the three editions printed by 
Caxton, and recorded by Mr. Blades, all are imperfect, two copies only excepted. 

“ This translation from Voragine was made by the venerable father of English typography, 
William Caxton, at the command of William Earl of Arundel. The first portion of the 
work, containing the lives of the Old Testament saints, may be termed an abridged Bible, 
and is extremely curious and interesting, as it may be considered the earliest English version of 
the Bible allowed to be printed. The Genevan version, printed in 1560, from the peculiar 
translation of Genesis ili. 7, is commonly called the ‘ Breeches Bible,’ but Caxton, nearly a 
century before, had rendered that verse thus: ‘ They toke figge leves and sowed them to- 
gyder for to cover their membres in maner of breches.’ It may further be remarked that 
Caxton made considerable alterations in, and additions to the work, in the lives of the Eng- 
lish saints, particularly in the life of Thomas a Becket Archbishop of Canterbury, &c.”

it was said, to the unskilfulness of the pilots, by which eight ships and nearly a thousand

‘This is another of the gentle Puritan souls. On page 73 he cries out, ‘Cursed be he 
that maketh not his sword starke drunk with Irish blood ... and let him be accursed that 
curseth not them bitterly!’ This is Christian mercy with a vengeance. Poor Charles I. 
is not spared in the Rhymes: 


‘ He cannot rule a Land as Lands should ruled been, 
That lets himself be ruled by a ruling Romish Queen.

with a new catalogue in 1831, but also in vain ; a third catalogue, with the addition of only 
8 books, was printed in 1840. I have seen in other reports that Mr. Warden had formed 3

WASHINGTON’S CORRESPONDENCE 


WITH 


GENERAL JOSEPH REED OF PENNSYLVANIA 


DURING THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. 


Comprising Firry-FouR ORIGINAL AUTOGRAPH LETTERS written and signed 
by GENERAL WASHINGTON ; seven excepted, which are in the handwriting 
of his secretaries, HAMILTON, TILGHMAN, and others, but signed by him- 
self ; commencing at the time of his taking the command of the army at 
Cambridge, and extending nearly throughout the whole period of the war of 
the Revolution. They were written to Gen. Joseph Reed of Pennsylvania, 
and wholly refer to the momentous events of that time ; the successes 
and reverses of the army, Arnold’s Treason, Lee’s Defection, Reed’s Col- 
lusion with Lee, &c., and include the WHOLE of the CELEBRATED Cam- 
BRIDGE LETTERS, twenty in number, written between October 30th, 1775, 
and April 15th, 1776, in which, by his own hand, Gen. Washington has 
noted every occurrence of interest which happened in his command during 
that eventful period; including an extended JoURNAL OF THE SIEGE OF 
Boston from the commencement of the American works on Lechmere’s 
Point, until the evacuation of the town by the British. 

The letters, mostly written on foolscap paper, occupy upwards of two 
hundred pages of an imperial quarto volume, elegantly bound in green 
Levant morocco, gilt edges, by F. BEDForRD, with an inserted UNLETTERED 
INDIA PROOF IMPREssION of the full length portrait of WAsHINGTON, 
painted by Stuart, in the possession of, and PRIVATELY ENGRAVED for Mr, 
James Lenox, by A. H. Ritchie. They are arranged, and mounted on 
guards, inthe best and most approved manner, by Mr. Bedford, are in the 
finest possible state of preservation, and preceded by a TITLE PAGE and a 
BrigF SYNOPTICAL DescriPTION of the contents of each of them respect- 
ively, printed by Mr. Munsell, expressly for the collection. The signatures, 
to four of the least important letters, which had been abstracted while in 
Mr. Reed’s possession, have been replaced with others obtained from ori- 

inal documents. 

This invaluable collection remained with the Reed family for nearly a 
century. It descended to the late Mr. William B. Reed, who, in conse-

it to New York to be sold. Aneffort made to secure it for a public insti- 
tution failed to succeed, upon which it passed into the possession of its 
present owner. 

In his ‘* Reprint of the Original Letters of Washington to Joseph 
Reed,” Mr. Reed remarks: ‘‘’The letters in question were part’ of a 
private correspondence, the most friendly and unreserved. Hence, in my 
opinion, their value. ‘Their true interest depends on being the exact 
transcript of what the writers thought and wrote. It was the hearty, 
familiar letter writing of two friends, between whom there had grown up, 
in the daily and hourly intercourse of the same quarters in the ‘ Rebel’ 
Camp, the most implicit, unsuspecting confidence. Mr. Reed was not 
exactly, at the age of thirty-three, of that class of thoughtless young men 
with whom it has been intimated Washington, himself but little over forty, 
was surrounded.? From June to October, 1775, Washington and his 
‘ First Secretary ’ had occupied the same house, lived at the same table, 
shared the same dangers and responsibilities, watched and counselled to- 
gether as two men of affectionate unreserve are apt to do; and when they 
were separated, the confidence was not interrupted, the unreserve not 
broken; and Washington writing to Reed in Philadelphia, was as if 
Washington were talking to Reed, in the anxious seclusion of the head- 
quarters at Cambridge. Such are these letters in their original form.” 

Referring to the CAMBRIDGE LETTERS, it is observed by Washington 
Irving. ‘* How precious are these letters, and how fortunate that the ab- 
sence of Mr. Reed from camp should have procured for us such confi- 
dential outpourings of Washington’s heart at this time of his great trial.” 3 

Thirty-three letters from this collection, were wholly or partially intro- 
duced by Mr. Sparks into the ‘* Writings of Washington,” with such un- 
important verbal alterations in style and composition as, actuated by the 
best and purest motives, he was led to make upon them, and such others, 
as passed through his hands for insertion in that work. Hence arose the 
unfounded charge of Lord Mahon that Mr. Sparks had ‘ tampered with 
the truth of history,” a remark which led to an extended, animated and 
interesting discussion on the subject, an event which would seem to have 
been in some degree anticipated by Mr. Sparks, for in an ORIGINAL AUTO- 
GRAPH LETTER written by him to Mr. W. B. Reed, and which will be 
found in this collection, he intimates that in case Mr. Reed should design 
to print Washington’s Letters to his grandfather, ‘it would be desirable 
that our texts should be alike.” 

The following ‘‘ Brief Synoptical Description,” of these letters was 
principally prepared by Mr. Reed. It conveys a very inadequate idea of 
their varied and deeply interesting contents, a knowledge of which can 
only be obtained from a perusal of the letters themselves, as nearly twenty 
of them are believed not to have been published.

It rarely happens that an opportunity is presented to acquire the possession 
of an autographic collection so absolutely UNIQUE in its character, so con- 
nected and complete in itself, exclusively treating of the important events 
attendant upon the advent of a nation, written to one address, and by an 
individual so prominent in the history of his country asis GEN. WASHINGTON ; 
and it is questionable, whether any other series of his correspondence posses- 
sing the same PRE-EMINENT HISTORICAL INTEREST and VALUE which this 
collection will readily be acknowledged to possess, exists outside of the De- 
partment of State at Washington.

copies of which you where so kind as to send me, I recollect seemed to me the most imperfect (in

The London Monthly Review thus speaks of this Letter: ‘‘ An exposition of the

honor to his good understanding and amiable disposition ; and his parting advice to the United 
States, is such as they ought to write in letters of gold on the front of their State house, if 
they had enough of that precious metal to spare from more pressing demands.”

‘¢ Aside from its intrinsic value and interest, as the production of the greatest and noblest

‘‘ The literature of the revolution was bold, direct, and without affectation. If you take 
the orders and proclamations of Washington, the letters written by him in the exigencies of 
the moment, there will be found that strength and felicity of expression that is supposed to 
be the offspring of care and leisure.”— Chambers.

A considerable portion of the ms. is believed to be in the hand-writing of Gen. ANTHONY

Irving, Bancroft and others. The following Letter speaks for itself. 

SUNNYSIDE, June 28, °57. 

Dear Sir:—I have this day sent the Valley Forge Orderly Book to your address, ... 
according to your advice, and beg you to accept my grateful thanks for the loan of this in- 
teresting relic of the Revolution, which I have detained for a rather unreasonable time. 

Very respectfully, yours obliged, &c.,

Other Letters, by Jared Sparks, and George Bancroft, are equally conclusive as to the value 
and genuineness of this HIGHLY IMpoRTANT RevoLuTionary Retic, which would form a 
desirable acquisition to any Revolutionary Collection. An autograph signature of Gen. 
Wayne, and the original autograph letters of Messrs. Irvine, Sparks, and BANCRoFT accom-

the American Colonies.” ] 


13 wols., 12m0, uniformly bound in half blue morocco, and numbered respectively at the 
bottom of the back of each in the following order: 


I. A Calm Address to our American Colonies. By John Wesley, M.A. A New Edition, 
Corrected, and Enlarged. London: Robert Hawes. [1775.] 


12mo, pp. 22. Gilt top, uNcuT. Portrait inserted. 


“Tn the beginning of the war in America, Wesley’s character imbibed a strong tincture 
of politics: and two sermons he preached at this juncture, in the Foundry, and West Street 
Chapel, from the views they contained of the conduct of the Government, and the anti- 
ministerial spirit which they breathed, were very remarkable. A gentleman happening to 
ask what he then thought of the public measures, was answered, ‘ What should I think ? 
Oppression will make a wise man mad.’ This is sufficient to show that at that period, he 
was decidedly averse to the war. Presently after, he changed his sentiments. His con- 
version was instantaneous; and what is most remarkable, in the history of this event, is, 
that sudden as it was, it was absolute and complete. Converted himself, his next care was 
to convert his brethren ; and in this office, his zeal was indefatigable. He not only carried 
his sentiments into all companies, and made them the subject of almost every conversation, 
but he eagerly displayed them in public; and the pulpit finished what the table began. 
When Mr. Wesley. changed his politics, and published his ‘Calm Address to the American 
Colonies,’ many copies were shipped for New York; a gentleman of that country, alarmed 
for the safety of a people with whom he was connected, and trembling for the probable con- 
sequences, should a pamphlet of such a tendency pass into general circulation, laid violent 
hands upon it, and destroyed or returned the whole impression; so that till a considerable 
time after this transaction, scarcely any one had heard that such a piece had been published. 
This incident was the salvation of Methodism in America.”— Hampson’s Life of Wesley. 1. 
145-148. 111. 134-140. 

‘Perhaps no two pamphlets did more good to the American cause than Dr. Johnson’s 
“Taxation no Tyranny,” and Mr. Wesley’s ‘* Calm Address,” both intended to have quite a 
contrary effect from that which was produced by them.”— Rich. 


II. An Old Fox Tarred and Feather’d. Occasioned by what is called Mr. John Wesley’s 
Calm Address to our American Colonys ... By an Hanoverian. The Second 
Edition Corrected. London: M, Lewis. 1775. 
12mo0, pp. 24. 
The Hanoverian was the celebrated Baptist preacher Dr. A. M. Toplady who proves 
Wesley to be a plagiarist. See Rich. 1. 221.

American Colonies.’ _ London: E. and C. Dilly. 1775.

clever piece, in favor of America.

In some Letters to Mr. Caleb Evans. By John Fletcher, Vicar of Madeley, 
Salop. London: Printed and sold at the Foundry. [1776. | 
I2mo, pp. 70. Gilt top, uNCUT. 
The author claims that the doctrine of taxation maintained by Mr. Wesley ‘is rational, 


Scriptural, and constitutional,” while that of Mr. Evans ‘is highly unconstitutional, and 
draws after it a long train of absurd consequences.” See M. Rev. tiv. 325. 


VIII. A Reply to the Rev. Mr. Fletcher’s Vindication of Mr. Wesley’s Calm Address to 
our American Colonies. By Caleb Evans, m.a. Bristol: W. Pine. [1776.] 

12m0, pp. 103. 
“*Mr. Evans is a lively and sensible advocate for the freedom of the colonies, a spirited 


controvertist, and a zealous asserter of those liberal and noble principles to which we are in- 
debted for the glorious revolution.” — M. Rev. Liv. 326. 


IX. American Patriotism Farther confronted with Reason, Scripture, and the Constitution: 
Being Observations on the Dangerous Politicks Taught by the Rev. Mr. 
Evans, mM.a. Andthe Rev. Dr. Price. With a Scriptural Plea for the Re-

‘¢ Mr. Wesley’s calmness is only to be found in his title-pages; he is far from being a 
dispassionate writer ; and the Americans have great reason to complain of him as a _fomenter, 
rather than a composer of national discord.” — M. R.

tween seven and eight years of age. She was sold in the slave-market at Boston and bought 
by Mrs. Wheatley. She was taught to read and write by one of this lady’s daughters and 
became the pet of the family. Her biographer states that in sixteen months after her ar- 
rival at Boston she had not only learned to speak the English language but to read the most 
difficult parts of the Bible. She visited London with her master’s family, where she received 
much attention, and there printed her Poems, which are dedicated to the Countess of Hunt- 
ingdon.”— Fobn R. Bartlett.

2137 Wiutkinson (J.) [A Series of Works by, and Relating to General 
James Wilkinson. | 


g wols., 8v0. Atlas 1 vol. 4to. Half purple morocco, gilt top, uNcuT. 

Together 10 volumes, all in the finest state and absolutely perfect ; a condition to which 
many copies of Wilkinson’s Memoirs and such other volumes as sometimes accompany 
them, cannot lay claim. The present is the most complete, and best conditioned set that 
has ever come under our observation, and would form an admirable adjunct to the Burr 
Series No. 295. 


The Contents of the Series are as follows: 


I. Further Information and Papers laid before the House of Representatives of the United 
States, relative to Brigadier General Wilkinson. April 25,1808. Ordered to 
be transmitted to the President of the United States. Washington City: 1808. 


pp. 15. 
In corroboration of a statement previously made by Daniel Clark, that Wilkinson had 


corruptly received money from the Spanish government at New Orleans, while in the ser- 
vice and pay of the United States. 


{I. Proofs of the Corruption of Gen. James Wilkinson, and of his Connexion with Aaron 
Burr, with a Full Refutation of his Slanderous Allegations in relation to the 
Character of the Principal Witness against him. By Daniel Clark, of the City 
of New Orleans. ... Philadelphia : 1809. 


pp. 150, 199. Portrait of Burr inserted. Very Scarce. 
III. Report of the Committee who were instructed, on the thirteenth ultimo, to Inquire 
into the Cause or Causes of the Great Mortality in that detachment of the 


Army of the United States, ordered for the Defence of New Orleans. April 27, 
1810. Read and ordered to lie on the table. City of Washington : 1810. 


pp. 130. Numerous Tabular Statements.

WILKINSON. 


The detachment of the Army referred to was under the command of Wilkinson, from 
which he was recalled under circumstances of disgrace. 


IV. Report of the Committee, appointed to Inquire into the Conduct of Brigadier General 
Wilkinson. May 1st, 1810. Read, and printed by order of the House of Re- 
presentatives. Washington City: 1810. 

pp- 217. 
Respecting Wilkinson’s having corruptly received money from the Spanish government; 
and of his being concerned, as an accomplice, with Burr, in a project to dismember the 

United States. 


V. Report of the Committee appointed to Inquire into the Conduct of General Wilkinson. 
February 26, 1811. Read, and ordered tobe transmitted to the President of the 
United States. Washington: 1811. 


pp. 582. EXTREMELY SCARCE. 


In continuation of the inquiry into the charges specified in No. IV. This copy contains 
the two Sheets of Ciphers and Hieroglyphics made use of in Wilkinson’s treasonable corre- 
spondence with Burr, one or the other of which is nearly always wanting. Most copies end 
on p. 522. 


VI. Memoirs of General Wilkinson. Volume m1. , 
; Washington City: Printed for the Author. 1811. 


[ Also a second title.] Burr’s Conspiracy Exposed ; and General Wilkinson Vindicated 
against the Slanders of his Enemies on that Important Occasion. I8il. 


pp. 18, 99, 136. Privatery Printep and ExTrEMELY Rare. PorTRAIT oF WILKINSON, 
and an AUTOGRAPH NOTE written and signed by him inserted. 


‘¢ Persecuted to the verge of destruction, without a dawn of relief, his humble fortune 
ruined and his domestic happiness blasted,’’ Wilkinson anticipated the publication of this 
much of his Memoirs by way of vindicating his ‘‘aspersed honor.” — See *¢ Advertisement.” 

We know of two other copies only in existence. The late Peter Force was in the habit of , 
showing his copy of this volume as one of the modern rarities of his immense collection. 


VII. Memoirs of My Own Times. By General James Wilkinson. Philadelphia: 1816. 


3 wols., 8vo0, pp. xv., 855, (44) 3 578, (260); 496, (54)3 3 facsimiles, 8 folded sheets. 
Atlas of 20 Diagrams and Plans, with Title and Explanations. A Very FINE COPY, quite 
free from the stains which disfigure most sets of the work. 


Inserted in this Unique copy are three curious and interesting letters of GENERAL WILKIN- 
SON, One in the first volume, dated at Philadelphia, April 15th, 1817, 2 pages quarto, relating 
almost exclusively to these Memoirs. The following is an extract. ‘ The subscription has 
very far exceeded the impression of 1500 copies struck off ... I am barely able to send a dozen 
copies to Savannah and the same number for Charleston. Another edition will be issued 
with a continuation with which all subscribers will be supplied. ... The copies of delinquent 
subscribers have been sold at $15 and sought for with great avidity. ... You will find the 
book written with perfect freedom, regardful only of truth, ... here it is approved by all 
parties and persons except official sycophants. I have from General Dearborn, who has read 
it, a highly approbatory & complimentary letter— he insists I must go on and tell truth to 
our country of which they have been kept in the dark.” 


Another, in the second volume, dated at Fort Washington, June 24th, 1798, 4 pages 
quarto, describes an interview with four nations of Indians headed by Lirrte Turtte. 


“‘ They charged us with the murder of Seven of their people on grounds too strong to be con- 
troverted.” 


That in the third volume dated at New Orleans September gth, 1812, 2 pages quarto, 
is addressed to Governor Holmes respecting the organization of the militia. “I find a 
great error has occurred. Out of 1500 stand of arms reported at Baton Rouge Colonel 
Purdy informs me only 176 could be found fit for use.” 


Wilkinson’s Memoirs comprehend many incidents and anecdotes of the Revolution little 
known, with a more interesting and authentic account of the battle of Breed’s Hill, the 
siege of Boston, and the campaigns of 1776-77 than is elsewhere extant.

Respecting the difference of opinion, relative to Witchcraft, which existed between the 
pulpit and the bar of the period, the editor remarks, ‘‘Mr. Poole in his paper on ‘ Cotton 
Mather and Salem Witchcraft’ [See No. 1616 in this Catalogue] has presented the sub- 
ject in a new light by furnishing Contemporaneous Documents hitherto neglected. One of 
them is a rare and anonymous Tract written by Reverend Samuel Willard, of the Old South 
Church, entitled ‘Some Miscellany Observations &c.’ ‘Its Reproduction’ says Mr. Poole 
‘would at this time throw more light upon the Opinions of the New England Clergy re- 
specting Witchcraftthan any other Document that has not been republished.” The S and B 


who carry on the Dialogue may have been intended for Stoughton and Brattle, or Salem and

“The propositions of the learned author in favor of the existence of a tribe of Welsh 
Indians, are so well sustained by veritable evidence, and yet so positively known to be untrue, 
that it makes us doubt the value of all ratiocination. He adduces the positive testimony of 
more than twenty persons who had visited, or spoken with them in that language. Of all 
the conjectures regarding the origin of the Indians, not one has been fortified by a tithe of 
the absolute evidence of respectable authorities and witnesses Mr. Williams obtained, and 
yet not a single scholar has been convinced. If such a cordon of impregnable proofs can be

“Mr, Winthrop kept a Journal of every important occurrence from his first embarking 
for America in 1630, to the year 1644. This Maunscript, as appears by some passages, was 
originally designed for publication ; and it was formerly consulted by the first compilers of 
New England History, particularly by Hubbard, Mather, and Prince. On reading the work, 
the editor (N. Webster) found it to contain many curious and interesting facts relating to 
the settlement of Massachusetts and the other New England Colonies, and highly descrip- 
tive of the character and views of the first inhabitants. By consent of the descendants of 


Gov. Winthrop, proposals were issued for publishing a small number of copies.”— Editor’s 
Preface.

‘¢ This is perhaps the pertest, keenest, wittiest, stingingest little literary production that 
New-England ever produced, and, we venture further to say, that no American document 
of the kind, the Declaration of Independence alone excepted, (and we guess that Jefferson 
had studied Wise,) so completely covers its field and engrapes its foe. The occasion was a 
grand one. Certain New England Ministers, looking out with eyes too single upon their 
own line of business, met in Boston as self-elected Delegates in an Association, on the 5th 
of November, 1705, and issued sundry proposals for amending the New England Platform, 
so as to give more efficiency to the Sacred Order of Men, as well as to improve the supplies 
of loaves and fishes, but all put into plausible and proper ecclesiastical phrase. These Pro- 
posals were printed and well circulated throughout the country, and were well nigh swallowed 
whole by the hungry Fishers-of-men. The poor fish were not consulted. But the Wise 
old man of Ipswich kept the watch-tower and fell not asleep, so that the Camp was not 
surprised. Taking for his motto, Titus I. 13, Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may 
be sound in the faith, in 1710 he came out with the first edition of this little book. ... 
The book is very little known, but must ever stand out as a beacon of warning to aspiring 
ministers.” — Stevens.

The author was an English clergyman, who went to New York with Governor Andros - 
in 1678, in the capacity of chaplain to the garrison at Fort James. He commences the 
volume with the following “address to the reader :”— ‘¢ The materials of this Journal have 
laid by me several years, expecting that some Landlooper or other in those parts would have 
done it more methodically; but neither hearing nor reading of any such as yet, and I being 
taken off from the proper studies and offices of my function, for my unprofitableness, I con- 
cluded that when I could not do what I ought, I ought to do what I could, which I shall 
further endeavour in a second part; in the meanwhile, adieu.”

resided in New England for four years, which seem to correspondto 1631-34. He mentions 
“one of the English Preachers’ who ‘hath spent much time in attaining to their language,’ 
and for whom the Indians entertained particular love and respect. John Eliot went 
out in 1631, so it is likely that the statement refers to him.” — Stevens. ;

This trial presents the first instance on record where truth was admitted as justification of 
a libel, a doctrine since admitted in American jurisprudence. 

“The counsel for the defendant was Andrew Hamilton, of Philadelphia, who, for the 
able defense he made upon the occasion, was rewarded, by order of the Common Council of 
New York, with the freedom of the city in a splendid gold box. The trial took place in 
1735. — Rich.

On the back of the title-page is the following sentiment: “‘In an age of persecution, 
when few people dare to write, and fewer still to print, these trials ought to be universally 
read by every true friend to English Liberty, who will here see two of the most noble stands, 
since the Revolution, in defence of Constitutional Freedom.”
